What is p-xylene CAS 106-42-3 Used for?

The use of paraxylene is highly specialized. Its dominant application is as the starting material for the synthesis of terephthalic acid (TPA). TPA is then purified (PTA) and reacted with ethylene glycol to produce the polymer Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET). The global demand for p-xylene is directly driven by the demand for PET, which manifests as:

• Polyester Textiles: For clothing, upholstery, and industrial fabrics.
• PET Packaging: For bottles, food containers, and transparent films.
