Xylene

Usage of Xylene is commonly used as a solvent in paints, coatings, adhesives, and chemical synthesis. It is also used in the laboratory as a clearing agent for tissues in histology

• Color: Clear, colorless liquid.
• Model/Type: Xylene is an aromatic hydrocarbon, often classified into three isomers: ortho-xylene, meta-xylene, and para-xylene.
• Material: Xylene is derived from crude oil and is composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms in an aromatic structure (C₆H₄(CH₃)₂).

How to Use: Use xylene in well-ventilated areas while wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and masks to avoid inhalation or skin contact.

Application:

• In manufacturing: as a solvent for paints, varnishes, and adhesives.
• In chemical processing: as a raw material for producing polymers.
• In laboratories: for histological sample preparation and tissue processing.
