Molekula
Xylene mixture of isomers ≥ 99.5%
ISO 9001:2015 & ISO 14001:2015 certified · Supplying laboratories and industry since 2000 · Certificate of Analysis with every batch
Xylene is a clear, aromatic hydrocarbon solvent composed of three isomers (ortho-, meta-, and para-xylene) used primarily in paints, coatings, inks, and as a precursor in chemical synthesis. This high-purity (≥ 99.5%) xylene mixture serves as an effective solvent and diluent in industrial applications while maintaining low toxicity compared to other aromatics. CAS 1330-20-7, molecular formula C6H4(CH3)2, molecular weight 106.17 g/mol. Store at ambient conditions. Signal word: Danger. Molekula supplies Xylene mixture of isomers ≥ 99.5% from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
