Versatility in Application

Xylene serves as a powerful solvent due to its efficacy in dissolving a wide array of organic compounds. It is commonly used in the production and application of paints, coatings, adhesives, and chemical synthesis in diverse industries, including laboratories. Its excellent solvency characteristics make it an essential component in manufacturing and processing sectors.


Safe Storage and Handling

Given its classification as a flammable liquid with a flash point of 25C, xylene requires proper storageaway from ignition sources, in tightly sealed containers, and in well-ventilated areas. Under these recommended conditions, it remains stable and has a shelf life of up to two years. Proper handling ensures safety and preserves its chemical integrity.

FAQs of Xylene Products:


Q: How should xylene be stored for optimal stability and shelf life?

A: Xylene should be stored in tightly sealed drums or bulk containers, away from heat, sparks, open flames, or direct sunlight, and in a cool, well-ventilated environment. Proper storage under these recommended conditions maintains its stability and ensures a shelf life of up to two years.

Q: What are the common applications of xylene in industry and laboratories?

A: Xylene is widely used as a solvent in the production of paints, coatings, adhesives, and also plays a role in chemical synthesis. Its strong solvency power makes it valuable for industrial processes, laboratory analysis, and the formulation of various chemical products.

Q: When is xylene considered hazardous and what precautions are necessary during use?

A: Xylene is classified as a highly flammable liquid (Hazard Class 3) and is harmful if inhaled. Precautions include using it in well-ventilated areas, keeping it away from ignition sources, wearing proper personal protective equipment, and ensuring all containers are properly sealed when not in use.

Q: Where can xylene be sourced and in what packaging options is it available?

A: Xylene can be obtained from authorized distributors, manufacturers, suppliers, or traders in India, typically available in standard industrial drums or supplied in bulk, depending on your requirements.

Q: What benefits does xylene offer as a solvent over other similar chemicals?

A: Xylene offers high purity (99%), excellent solvency for a broad range of organic substances, chemical stability under recommended storage, and compatibility with most organic solvents, making it highly effective and preferred in many industrial and laboratory applications.

Q: How is xylene produced and what are its raw material sources?

A: Xylene is produced from petroleum or coal tar through refinement and distillation processes. These raw materials ensure consistent industrial-grade quality and purity that meets various chemical and manufacturing standards.
