Xylene is a clear, aromatic hydrocarbon solvent composed of three isomers—ortho-, meta-, and para-xylene—used primarily in paints, coatings, adhesives, and as a precursor in synthetic fiber and detergent production. It is also employed as a solvent in rubber, printing inks, and pharmaceutical manufacturing due to its strong solvency and evaporation rate. This xylene mixture has a CAS number of 1330-20-7, molecular formula C8H10 (C6H4(CH3)2), and a molecular weight of 106.17 g/mol. It is stored at ambient conditions but requires proper handling due to its Danger classification, including flammability and health hazards.
Molekula supplies Xylene mixture of isomers in 1 L packs, from £29.76 inc. VAT. It is in stock for same-day dispatch. Every batch ships with a certificate of analysis, and a safety data sheet is available. Larger quantities, up to multi-tonne, are quoted on request.
