Product overview
Xylene is a mixture of three aromatic hydrocarbon isomers: ortho-xylene, meta-xylene, and para-xylene, typically with ethylbenzene as well. It is a colorless, flammable liquid with a sweet smell. Xylene is one of the most widely used industrial solvents and chemical feedstocks, valued for its excellent solvency for many organic compounds and relatively low cost.
