Xylene (mixed xylenes)

Xylene (mixed xylenes) is one of the three xylene isomers with methyl groups at adjacent positions (1,2-substitution). Industrial grade typically has ≥98% purity, featuring high boiling point, low water solubility, and strong solvency. It is primarily used as a key feedstock for phthalic anhydride (PA) production and in specialty solvents.

Product Parameters


Product Name (English)Xylene (mixed xylenes)
CAS No.95-47-6
DescriptionOrtho-xylene is a colorless, flammable liquid. Its primary use is in the production of phthalic anhydride, which is a key precursor for plasticizers, resins, and dyes. It also serves as a solvent in the chemical and industrial sectors.
SpecificationsPurity > 99.5%.
Packaging180 KG/drum.

Basic Properties

  • Molecular Formula: C₈H₁₀

  • Appearance :Colorless liquid, aromatic odor

  • Density (20°C): 0.880 g/cm³

  • Boiling Point :144.4°C (highest isomer)

  • Melting Point: -25°C (crystallizes at low T)

  • Flash Point :32°C (Flammable)

  • Explosive Limits: 0.9–6.7% vol (in air)

  • Solubility: Insoluble in water; miscible with organic solvents

Main Applications


  1. Primary Feedstock:

    • >95% for phthalic anhydride (PA) → Plasticizers (DOP), alkyd resins

    • PA further synthesizes polyester resins, dye intermediates

  2. Solvent Applications:

    • High-temperature reaction solvent

    • Thinner for specialty coatings/inks (low-volatility required)

  3. Others:

    • Intermediate for pesticides

    • Reference standard in gas chromatography

Safety Precautions


  • Health Hazards:

    • Inhalation causes dizziness, ataxia (acute)

    • Chronic exposure damages hematopoietic system (thrombocytopenia)

    • Severe defatting dermatitis on skin contact

  • Physical Hazards:

    • Vapor density > air (accumulates at ground level)

    • Static ignition hazard (conductivity: 1–10 pS/m)

  • Protection:

    • Ventilation: Closed system + local exhaust (TLV-TWA: 100 ppm)

    • Fire Prevention: Explosion-proof equipment + grounding (flow <3 m/s)

    • PPE:

      • Viton gloves (NEVER nitrile/latex – permeation risk!)

      • Class A organic vapor respirator (>100 ppm)

  • Special Storage:

    • Maintain temperature >5°C (prevent crystallization)

    • Nitrogen blanket in tanks (prevent oxidation to acids)
