There is no single fixed price for Mixed Xylene (CAS 1330-20-7) - pricing is quoted per order based on required quantity, product specification, packaging type, destination port and current market conditions. Because mixed xylene is a petrochemical-derived aromatic solvent, its price is influenced by upstream feedstock markets (crude oil and aromatics/paraxylene production economics) as well as logistics costs, which is why buyers should request a specific quotation rather than rely on a general published price.
Key Factors That Affect Mixed Xylene Price
| Factor | How It Affects Price |
|---|---|
| Order quantity | Larger bulk orders (e.g., full ISO tank or multiple drums) typically achieve better per-unit pricing than small trial orders |
| Product specification / grade | Isomer ratio, purity level and ethylbenzene content can affect cost - see our article on mixed xylene isomer ratio |
| Packaging type | Drums, IBC totes and ISO tanks have different per-unit packaging and handling costs |
| Destination port and Incoterm | Freight, insurance and duties vary significantly by destination and by whether pricing is quoted FOB, CFR, CIF or another Incoterm |
| Upstream feedstock market | Mixed xylene pricing tracks broader petrochemical and aromatics market movements, including crude oil and paraxylene/PX market conditions |
| Seasonal demand | Demand from paint, coating and adhesive manufacturers can fluctuate seasonally, influencing short-term pricing |
| Documentation requirements | Additional requirements such as third-party inspection (e.g., SGS) may add a small cost but provide additional quality assurance |
Why Mixed Xylene Price Fluctuates
Unlike some specialty chemicals with relatively stable pricing, xylene is closely tied to the broader petrochemical aromatics complex. Because mixed xylene is derived from the same production streams used to make higher-value aromatics like paraxylene (used in PET/polyester production) and benzene, shifts in global demand for these downstream products can influence mixed xylene availability and price. Buyers who purchase mixed xylene regularly for paint, coating, adhesive or ink production often find it useful to:
- Request quotations periodically rather than assuming a fixed long-term price
- Discuss forecasted order volumes with their supplier to help stabilize supply and potentially improve pricing terms
- Consider a mix of spot orders and forward planning around known production schedules
- Confirm whether a quoted price is FOB, CFR or CIF, since freight can represent a meaningful share of total landed cost
How to Get an Accurate Mixed Xylene Quotation
To receive an accurate, order-specific quotation, buyers should be prepared to provide the following information:
- Required quantity - e.g., number of drums, IBC totes, or tonnage for an ISO tank/bulk shipment
- Product specification or grade - including any specific isomer ratio, purity or ethylbenzene limit required for your application
- Packaging preference - drums, IBC tanks, or ISO tanks
- Destination port or delivery location
- Preferred Incoterm - FOB, CFR, CIF, DDP, etc.
- Required delivery schedule
Providing this information upfront allows a supplier to prepare a precise quotation instead of a broad estimate, and helps avoid delays later in the ordering process.

FAQ: Mixed Xylene Pricing
Q: Why can't suppliers publish a fixed price for mixed xylene online?
Because mixed xylene pricing depends on multiple variable factors - quantity, specification, packaging, destination and current market conditions - a single published price would not accurately reflect the actual cost for most orders. A specific quotation ensures accuracy.
Q: Can I buy mixed xylene in bulk from GNEE BIO?
Yes. GNEE BIO supplies mixed xylene for bulk industrial orders and can discuss supply options based on your required volume, delivery schedule and destination.
Q: What information should I provide to get a fast, accurate quote?
Please provide required quantity, product specification or grade, packaging preference, destination port or delivery location, preferred Incoterm, and required delivery schedule.
