Mixed Xylene
CAS NO.: 1330-20-7 EC No.: 215-535-7
Molecular Formula : C8H10
Mixed xylene is a mixture of ortho xylene, meta xylene, para xylene, and ethylbenzene. It is a colorless and transparent liquid, soluble in ethanol and ether, insoluble in water.
Application:
Xylenes are used as a solvent in printing, rubber, and leather industries.
It is a common component of ink, rubber, and adhesives. In thinning paints and varnishes, it can be substituted for toluene where slower drying is desired, and thus is used by conservators of art objects in solubility testing.
Similarly it is a cleaning agent, e.g., for steel, silicon wafers, and integrated circuits. In dentistry, xylene can be used to dissolve gutta percha, a material used for endodontics (root-canal treatments).
In the petroleum industry, xylene is also a frequent component of paraffin solvents, used when the tubing becomes clogged with paraffin wax.
