o-Xylene
o-Xylene is a high-purity aromatic hydrocarbon solvent and a critical isomer of xylene, primarily utilized as a feedstock for the production of phthalic anhydride. Its 98%+ purity ensures optimal performance in industrial chemical synthesis and specialized solvent applications.
This flammable liquid possesses excellent solvency power, making it a preferred choice for the formulation of alkyd resins and plasticizers. It serves as a vital chemical intermediate in the manufacturing of high-performance coatings and polymeric materials.
As a stable organic solvent, o-Xylene offers controlled evaporation rates and compatibility with various organic compounds. It is an essential component in the production of synthetic fibers and agricultural chemicals, ensuring high yield and consistency.
o-Xylene
• Phthalic Anhydride Feedstock: Used as the primary precursor for catalytic oxidation into phthalic anhydride, which is essential for manufacturing plasticizers and polyester resins.
• Industrial Solvent: Employed as a high-efficiency solvent in the production of paints, varnishes, and printing inks due to its excellent dissolving power for various binders.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Acts as an intermediate in the formulation of pesticides and herbicides, contributing to the development of effective crop protection products.
o-Xylene is classified as a flammable liquid and vapor and may cause skin irritation or respiratory irritation. Handling requires flame-proof ventilation, nitrile gloves, chemical safety goggles, and respiratory protection (organic vapor cartridges) to prevent inhalation.
