What Is the Melting Point and Boiling Point of p-Xylene?

Jan 28, 2026 Leave a message

Melting point of p-xylene:

The melting point of p-xylene is 13.2 °C, which is notably higher than the melting points of o-xylene and m-xylene. This means the material is prone to solidifying in low-temperature environments, which is a major consideration for bulk storage and transportation in winter. Consequently, most purchasers require temperature-controlled logistics solutions to prevent p-xylene from crystallising during transit and storage.

 

The boiling point of p-xylene is 138.4 °C.

At atmospheric pressure, p-xylene has a boiling point of 138.4 °C. This stable thermal property makes it well-suited to high-temperature industrial reactions. Paraxylene is particularly applicable in oxidation processes used to produce terephthalic acid (PTA) and dimethyl terephthalate (DMT), two core products in the polyester manufacturing chain for which p-xylene is a primary raw material.
