You are looking to analyze xylene in your products...
Xylene, also known as dimethylbenzene or xylol, is an aromatic hydrocarbon derived from benzene.
It is a colourless, volatile, flammable liquid that emits an unpleasant odour at room temperature.
Xylene has three isomeric structures:
- 1,2 – dimethylbenzene, also known as orthodimethylbenzene (o-xylene) ;
1,3 – dimethylbenzene, also known as metadimethylbenzene (m-xylene);
1,4 – dimethylbenzene or paradimethylbenzene (p-xylene).
The proportions of the different isomers – and of other constituents such as ethylbenzene – depend on the origin of the product, whether it is obtained by catalytic reforming or cracking, for example.
Xylene can be used in the following products :
- Varnish solvent
- Paints
- In printing
- Rubber manufacture
- Leather
- Cleaning
- Plant protection products
- Raw materials for the plastics industry
- Additives for certain fuels
