Xylole, commonly known as xylene, is a colorless, aromatic hydrocarbon used primarily as a solvent in paints, adhesives, and rubber. It also serves as a precursor in chemical synthesis and as a diluent in printing inks. This chemical is a mixture of three isomers: ortho-, meta-, and para-xylene, each with distinct industrial applications. Xylene has a CAS number of 1330-20-7, a molecular formula of C6H4(CH3)2, and a molecular weight of 106.17. It is stored at ambient conditions but requires careful handling due to its **Danger** classification under GHS regulations. Molekula supplies xylene from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
