Products Description
M-Xylene (CAS No.108-38-3) is a colourless, clear liquid with a distinctive aromatic odour. m-Xylene is an organic compound with the chemical formula C8H10. It is one of three xylene isomers, valued particularly for its specific chemical structure, making it an indispensable building block and solvent in petrochemical and chemical manufacturing, particularly in the production of isophthalic acid.

Applications：
- Production of isophthalic acid (IPA): M-Xylene is the principal feedstock for IPA, which is used in unsaturated polyester resins, coatings and plasticisers.
- Solvent: m-Xylene is employed as a high-boiling solvent in paints, inks, adhesives and rubber processing due to its strong dissolving power and low volatility.
- Chemical synthesis: m-Xylene Liquid serves as a raw material for producing dyes, pharmaceuticals, pesticides and other fine chemicals.
- Fuel additive: meta-xylene is occasionally used as a component in gasoline to improve the octane rating (in controlled amounts).
