P-Xylene Definition
p-Xylene, also known as p-xylene, is an aromatic hydrocarbon compound with two methyl groups attached to a benzene ring in the para position. It is an important industrial chemical and a precursor for various organic compounds.
P-Xylene Uses & Benefits
p-Xylene is an important chemical feedstock. Among other industrial applications, it is a raw material in the large scale synthesis of various polymers. In particular it is a component in the production of terephthalic acid for polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate (generally known as PET). It also may be polymerised directly to produce parylene.
P-Xylene Safety Information
- Paraxylene is predominantly an industrial chemical. Therefore, most opportunities for human exposure to paraxylene occur at the industrial facilities where it is handled.
- Because paraxylene is flammable, industrial facilities handle it with safety in mind, with procedures to avoid exposure to possible ignition sources and by ventilating storage areas. Industrial facilities also have procedures to avoid accidental release into the environment and to store paraxylene in an appropriate containment system in a cool, well-ventilated area.
