Xylene
Technical Grade
Xylene is a versatile, colorless liquid with a sweet odor, commonly used as a high-performance solvent in various industrial applications. It is a mixture of three isomers—ortho-xylene, meta-xylene, and para-xylene—and is widely recognized for its ability to dissolve oils, resins, and other complex substances. Xylene is commonly used in industries such as coatings, paints, printing, and adhesives, due to its excellent solvency power and ability to improve the quality and consistency of products.
Xylene is a vital component in industrial and laboratory settings, ensuring smooth operations and efficient production. While it offers excellent performance in various applications, it should be handled with care due to its flammable nature and potential health risks when inhaled or ingested.
