Jan 29, 2026 Leave a message

CAS 106-42-3 p-Xylene, also known as 1,4-Dimethylbenzene, is an aromatic hydrocarbon widely utilized in chemical synthesis. Its molecular formula is C₆H₄(CH₃)₂, with a molecular weight of 106.17 g/mol and a CAS number of 106-42-3. This colorless, flammable liquid is a key intermediate in producing terephthalic acid and polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

 

p-Xylene (CAS 106-42-3) is a flammable, volatile and toxic liquid. It needs special storage and handling measures to avoid fires and harmful exposure.

Handling Precautions

  1. Fire Prevention: Keep p-xylene away from heat, sparks, open flames and hot surfaces. No smoking is allowed in the handling area.
  2. Static Electricity Protection: Ground and bond the storage container and receiving equipment to prevent static buildup.
  3. Ventilation Requirements: Handle p-xylene only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area such as a fume hood. This is to avoid inhaling its harmful vapors.
  4. Exposure Control: Wear protective gloves, protective clothing and eye/face protection when handling. Avoid direct contact between the liquid and skin, eyes.

 

Storage Conditions

  1. Keep the p-xylene container tightly closed at all times. Store the sealed container in a dry and well-ventilated place.
  2. Store the liquid in a cool area. Ensure the storage area is properly labeled with hazard information and kept locked.
  3. Keep p-xylene far away from strong oxidizing agents and strong acids to prevent dangerous chemical reactions.
  4. Store p-xylene in an area specially designed for flammable liquids, usually a detached and fire-resistant building.
