Products Description
Ink formulators rely on o-xylene's aromatic solvency to disperse pigments evenly and stabilize drying behavior across gravure and flexographic printing processes. GNEE BIO's o-xylene is supplied at consistent purity to avoid batch-to-batch viscosity drift during ink production runs.

CAS 95-47-6 O-Xylene is a colorless, flammable aromatic hydrocarbon distinguished by a sweet, toluene-like odor. It is classified as a highly efficient industrial solvent and reactive chemical intermediate. The compound's strong dissolving capacity for resins, oils, and polymers - combined with its moderate evaporation rate - makes it the solvent of choice in paint manufacturing, printing ink production, rubber processing, and pharmaceutical synthesis.
Industrially, o-xylene is also the principal raw material for phthalic anhydride, which is further converted into plasticizers, alkyd resins, and polyester compounds that serve countless downstream manufacturing sectors.
