Introduction
Mixed xylene is a mixture of three isomers (O-xylene, M-xylene, and p-xylene). The following is an introduction to the properties, uses, preparation methods and safety information of mixed xylene:Quality:is a colorless transparent liquid with a special aromatic odor.Use:1. It has a wide range of uses in the chemical field. It is an excellent organic solvent that is often used to dissolve resins, rubber, paints and coatings, etc.2. It can also be used as a cleaning agent, degreaser and extractant.Preparation method:Mixed xylene can be obtained by fractional distillation during petroleum refining. When light hydrocarbons are extracted from petroleum, they can be obtained by mixing xylene through further separation and purification.Safety Information:1. Long-term exposure to high concentrations of xylene vapor can lead to health problems such as headaches, dizziness, and nervous system damage.2. When using mixed xylene, ensure good ventilation and avoid inhaling vapors.3. Avoid prolonged contact with skin and eyes, and ensure that the container is well sealed when stored, away from fire and high temperatures.4.
