What is p-xylene (Paraxylene) used for?
CAS 106-42-3 Paraxylene (C8H10) is an organic compound with common isomers including o-xylene, m-xylene, and p-xylene.
p-xylene is one of the isomers of xylene. It is a colorless, volatile liquid. Paraxylene is a very important raw material in the preparation of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) chips, which are extensively used in packing industries, for example, for mineral water and carbonated soft drink bottles. Paraxylene is also used in the manufacture of PTA (purified terephthalic acid), which is a basic petrochemical used in the textile industry for making polyester. The PET is one of the main source of raw materials to produce plastic bottles and polyester clothing. 98% of the Paraxylene production, and half of all xylene, is consumed in this way.
Is p-xylene CAS 106-42-3 flammable?
CAS 106-42-3 p-xylene is highly flammable, industrial facilities handle it with safety in mind, with procedures to avoid exposure to possible ignition sources and by ventilating storage areas.
