Mix Xylene

Description

 What is Mix Xylene?

Mix Xylene is a colorless, highly flammable liquid made up of three isomers of dimethylbenzene: ortho-xylene, meta-xylene, and para-xylene. Known for its sweet, aromatic odor, Mix Xylene is a vital solvent across various industrial sectors including printing, rubber, leather, paint, and chemical manufacturing. Due to its excellent solvency and fast evaporation rate, it plays a crucial role in dissolving resins, polymers, and other organic compounds.

Chemex Chemicals supplies high-purity Mix Xylene that adheres to strict safety and quality standards, suitable for a range of industrial applications.
