Dutch term or phrase: inslag
It is from the description of a chemical process, in the following context: "Voeg toe aan de inhoud van ketel A X liter water en daarna Y liter tolueen inslag."
It seems like some sort of quantity of toluol, but the text uses "inslag" only with toluol, but with other materials or chemicals it doesn't. Does it maybe have a special meaning?

agree  Ramon Somoza: toluol (though I prefer the term toluene) is insoluble in water.
