Chelora Chemicals UAE supplies Meta Nitrotoluene (CAS 99-08-1) to agrochemical and pharmaceutical intermediate producers, dye manufacturers and specialty chemical makers across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and all seven Emirates, with batch-wise COA, sealed packing and fast GCC delivery.
Meta Nitrotoluene (3-nitrotoluene, m-NT) is a nitro-aromatic supplied as a pale yellow liquid that can crystallise in cool conditions. It is usually obtained as a minor isomer of toluene nitration and is valued for the meta-substituted amines it leads to.
Typical uses are as the feedstock for Meta Toluidine (3-methylaniline), as an intermediate for dyes and pigments, for agrochemical and pharmaceutical intermediates, and in specialty chemical synthesis.
As an established chemical supplier in the UAE, Chelora Chemicals sources Meta Nitrotoluene from approved manufacturers with consistent purity and controlled colour, and delivers it to customers in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain, as well as export customers in Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Africa and South Asia.
