Xylene Isomers

Xylene Isomers are three structural isomers of xylene (C₈H₁₀): ortho-xylene, m-xylene, and para-xylene. Unlike mixed xylenes, this product separates and purifies each of the three isomers individually, each possessing unique physicochemical properties, allowing for precise adaptation to different industrial applications.

Our factory employs a closed-loop C8 aromatic hydrocarbon separation process, ensuring all xylene isomers have a purity ≥99.5%, with extremely low impurity and moisture content. The entire production process adheres to international industrial standards, minimizing environmental impact while guaranteeing consistent product quality for each batch, preventing quality fluctuations from affecting customer production efficiency.

Main Physicochemical Parameters Table

Xylene isomers are colorless, transparent liquids with a slight aromatic odor; insoluble in water, but completely miscible with alcohols, esters, ketones, benzenes, and other hydrocarbons. Under normal storage conditions (cool, ventilated, and dry warehouse, away from open flames and heat sources), they do not easily decompose and are non-corrosive to common metals such as carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, making them safe and reliable for industrial use.

Core Advantages

1. High Purity and Precise Standard Control

Utilizing advanced separation technology, single-component purity is ≥99.5%, with strict control over moisture and trace impurities, eliminating cross-interference between isomers, and meeting the high-precision production needs of pharmaceutical synthesis, high-end polyesters, and other industries.

2. Ample Inventory and Flexible Orders

The factory maintains a year-round stock of three isomers, supporting small-batch sample orders starting from one drum, and also accepting long-term large-scale orders. Bulk orders enjoy factory-direct pricing, helping customers reduce procurement costs and increase production profits.

3. Strong Compatibility and Wide Applications

Excellent solubility and chemical stability make it widely applicable in organic synthesis, coatings and inks, industrial cleaning, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and other industries. Each of the three isomers has its own specific function, precisely matching different production processes.

Application Areas and Real-World Case Studies for Each Product Category

1. o-Xylene

Main Uses: Core raw material for the production of phthalic anhydride, further used in plasticizers, dyes, resins, and coatings.

Application Case: A European coating manufacturer purchased o-xylene from our factory for phthalic anhydride synthesis, achieving a reaction yield of 99.2%, 0.5% higher than ordinary mixed xylene raw materials. High-purity raw materials effectively reduce by-product generation, reducing production waste by 12%, while significantly improving the weather resistance and durability of the final coatings.

2. m-Xylene

Main Uses: Used in the preparation of isophthalic acid, an important intermediate in polyester resins, coatings, and synthetic fibers; also used as an ink solvent, industrial cleaning agent, and raw material for pharmaceutical synthesis.

Application Case: A Southeast Asian ink manufacturer selected our m-xylene as a solvent for high-gloss printing inks. Its moderate volatility ensures uniform ink drying, prevents surface cracking, significantly improves printing clarity, and reduces the production defect rate by 18% year-on-year.

3. p-Xylene

Main Uses: A key raw material in the polyester industry, used to produce purified terephthalic acid (PTA) and dimethyl terephthalate (DMT), a core substrate for polyester fibers, food-grade plastic bottles, and films.

Application Case: A large Middle Eastern polyester manufacturer has a long-term cooperative relationship with our p-xylene supplier, supporting a 500,000-ton-per-year PET resin production line. Product purity is consistently ≥99.7%, ensuring continuous and stable PTA production, reducing the finished product quality deviation rate by 90%, and fully complying with international production standards for food-grade PET packaging bottles.
