  • Applications

    m-Fluorotoluene (CAS 352-70-5) is primarily used as a synthetic building block for fluorinated aromatic compounds. In industrial manufacturing, it serves as an intermediate for the production of pharmaceutical and agrochemical actives and their precursors. It also acts as a precursor for specialty chemicals used in liquid crystal materials and organic electronics, where the fluorinated aryl motif enhances thermal and chemical stability. Additionally, it is employed in coatings and inks to introduce fluorinated aryl functionality and can be used in certain polymer formulations as a source of aryl fluorine, all within applicable regulations and formulation limits.
