If you’re searching for a reliable Trifluorotoluene (BTF) supplier or CAS 98-08-8 exporter for industrial use, you’re usually not looking for a long introduction. You’re trying to confirm a few practical things quickly:
• Is it the right material ?
• Will the batch quality stay consistent for my process?
• Can it ship cleanly and compliantly to my destination?
SNOWHITE CHEMICAL CO., LTD supplies Trifluorotoluene (BTF) CAS 98-08-8 for industrial solvent use and as a CF₃-aromatic intermediate in downstream synthesis.
First: Confirm You’re Buying the Right Trifluorotoluene (BTF)
Trifluorotoluene (BTF) is commonly listed under several aliases in global sourcing, all referring to CAS 98-08-8:
(Trifluoromethyl)benzene
α,α,α-Trifluorotoluene
CAS 98-08-8
When customers run into customs or internal QA issues, it’s often because the commercial name on the invoice doesn’t match what their plant or broker expects. If you tell us what name your team prefers, we align it consistently across COA, SDS, invoice, and packing list for smooth export clearance.
What Matters to Buyers
For most procurement teams, “industrial grade” isn’t enough by itself. The real questions are:
Batch Consistency
If you use BTF as a fluorinated solvent, consistency shows up as stable appearance and predictable performance (no unexpected odor change, no unusual color, no contamination from packaging).
If you use it as a CF₃ synthesis intermediate, consistency is usually about controlling items your route is sensitive to (for example moisture, or other trace impurities—your team will know what they watch).
Packaging That Survives Transit
Trifluorotoluene (BTF) CAS 98-08-8 is handled as a flammable liquid in typical logistics workflows, so sealing and labeling matter. We focus on export-ready packaging (drum/IBC depending on volume) and document accuracy to reduce clearance delays.
If you’ve had issues before (leaking drums, odor, inconsistent paperwork), tell us upfront—those are solvable problems, but only if the supplier treats them as part of the product.
Typical Reference Properties
These values are standard for industrial-grade Trifluorotoluene (BTF) CAS 98-08-8:
• Molecular formula: C₇H₅F₃
• Molar mass: 146.11 g/mol
• Boiling point: around 102–103°C
• Density (20°C): about 1.19 g/mL
• Refractive index (n20/D): about 1.414
• Water solubility: very low / practically insoluble
• Flash point: commonly reported around 12°C (so treat as flammable in storage and handling)
Where Customers Use Trifluorotoluene (BTF)
We usually see two purchasing intentions for this fluorochemical:
Fluorinated Solvent Sourcing
Teams choose industrial-grade Trifluorotoluene (BTF) when they want a solvent profile different from standard aromatics, especially in processes where solvent selection is part of yield or selectivity control.
CF₃ Building Block for Synthesis
For fine chemical routes that need a trifluoromethyl-substituted aromatic starting point, Trifluorotoluene (BTF) may be used depending on the pathway and plant preferences.
If you tell us which side you’re on (solvent vs intermediate), we’ll quote with the packaging and documentation that matches your use case.
Storage & Handling
Because Trifluorotoluene (BTF) CAS 98-08-8 is typically treated as a flammable liquid, standard practice is:
Store in a cool, ventilated area, away from ignition sources
Keep containers tightly closed
Use PPE and ventilation according to your site SDS requirements
We don’t overcomplicate this section because every customer’s EHS rules differ—your SDS is always the final reference.

FAQ
Is Trifluorotoluene the same as BTF CAS 98-08-8?
In most industrial sourcing, yes—these names commonly refer to the same chemical compound with CAS 98-08-8.
Does BTF dissolve in water?
It’s generally considered practically insoluble in water.
Is it considered flammable for handling/shipping?
It’s typically treated as a flammable liquid in standard handling due to its commonly reported flash point around 12°C.
