Is p-xylene chemical liquid flammable?

Para Xylene/p-xylene is highly flammable.

P-xylene Flash Point: Approximately 27°C (81°F), classifying it as a Flammable Liquid.

Its vapors can form explosive mixtures with air at room temperature.

 

Paraxylene p-Xylene

 

p-xylene boiling point: 138.4°C
Para xylene melting point : 13.3°C, higher than other xylene isomers (e.g., m-xylene: -47.4°C).
p-xylene density: approximately 0.857 g/cm³ (at 20°C), classifying it as a light aromatic solvent.
p-xylene solubility in water: Almost insoluble in water, but miscible with most organic solvents such as ethanol and ether.
Para xylene uses: Primarily used to produce terephthalic acid, which is further processed into polyester fibers (PET), plastic bottle packaging materials, etc.
p-xylene structure: Molecular structure consists of two methyl groups attached to the 1,4 positions of the benzene ring (para-substituted), featuring high symmetry.

 

What is p-xylene chemical liquid Used for?

CAS 106-42-3 p-xylene chemical is widely used as a feedstock (or "building block") to manufacture other industrial chemicals, notably terephthalic acid (TPA), purified terephthalic acid (PTA) and dimethyl-terephthalate (DMT). TPA, PTA and DMT are used to manufacture polyethylene terephthalate (PET) polyesters, a kind of plastic.
