Xylene

Xylene is a colorless liquid and vapor. It is not soluble in water and will float on top of denser water if combined. It is flammable at room temperature. It was named after xylong, the Greek word for wood, because it was found in crude wood spirit. The chemical formula is C8H10, or more specifically (C6H4)(CH3)2.

Other synonyms for xylene are dimethyl benzene, methyl toluene and mixed xlenes. It’s structure consists of two methyl groups attached to a six-carbon ring. There are three main isomers of this product, called ortho, meta and paraxylene. A fourth isomer is ethylbenzene. Meta is a main component of commercial-grade. Paraxylene boasts a number of uses in the polymer industry. It is heavier than air. It is a volatile liquid giving off its gas. The nauseatingly sweet smell serves as a warning for its toxic nature. This smell can be detected in air concentrations as low as one part per million (PPM) can react with strong acids and oxidizers.

Xylene Applications

Xylene is one of the top chemicals produced in the world, and it is commonly derived from crude petroleum. There are many uses both in its pure state and in compounds. It is widely used in several industries as well as in dental and medical arenas.

In histology, It is used to process and stain tissues. These tissues can then be used in microscopy. One of the chief uses as a lubricant, and it is so used in motor oil or brake fluid. It’s powerful solvent properties are used in printing, rubber and leather processing. It is a component of lubricants in motor oil, paints and paint thinners, polishes, waxes, antifreeze, sealants, adhesives, and even gasoline and cigarettes. It is used in some glue. It is also used as a cleaner.Additional uses of xylene include its addition to pesticides and disinfectants.
