Product Description

Ortho-Xylene is a clear, colorless liquid aromatic hydrocarbon compound commonly used as a solvent and raw material in various industrial processes. It is one of the three isomers of xylene, along with meta-xylene and para-xylene. Ortho-Xylene is primarily employed in the production of phthalic anhydride, which is a precursor for the manufacture of plasticizers, polyester resins, and dyes. It is also used as a solvent in the formulation of paints, coatings, adhesives, and printing inks due to its excellent solvency power and low toxicity. Additionally, Ortho-Xylene finds application as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of various organic compounds, including herbicides, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals. Its relatively high boiling point and low vapor pressure make it suitable for high-temperature processes and applications requiring controlled evaporation rates. However, Ortho-Xylene should be handled with care due to its flammability and potential health hazards. Proper safety precautions, including adequate ventilation and personal protective equipment, are necessary when working with Ortho-Xylene
