Frequently Asked Questions

Uses of o-xylene

o-Xylene, also known as ortho-xylene, is a chemical compound that belongs to the group of aromatic hydrocarbons. It is a colorless liquid with a sweet odor and is primarily used as a raw material in the chemical industry. Here are some common uses of o-xylene:

1. Solvent: o-Xylene is widely used as a solvent in various industries. It is an effective solvent for many types of paints, coatings, adhesives, and sealants. It is also used as a cleaning agent in the printing, rubber, and leather industries.

2. Chemical Intermediate: o-Xylene serves as an important chemical intermediate in the production of other chemicals. It is used as a precursor in the synthesis of phthalic anhydride, which is utilized in the production of plasticizers, polyester resins, and dyes.

3. Isomerization: o-Xylene can be isomerized to produce m-xylene and p-xylene, which are valuable isomers. These isomers are crucial in the production of terephthalic acid, which is used in the manufacturing of polyester fibers, films, and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles.

4. Laboratory Reagent: o-Xylene is used as a laboratory reagent in various chemical and biological experiments. It is commonly used in chromatography as a solvent and as a component in staining and mounting procedures.

5. Fuel Additive: o-Xylene is sometimes used as an octane booster and fuel additive in gasoline. It can increase the octane rating of gasoline and improve the overall performance of engines.

6. Pharmaceuticals: In the pharmaceutical industry, o-xylene can be utilized as an intermediate for the production of certain medications and drugs.
