4. Product sheet xylenes C6H4(CH3)2
The three xylene isomers ortho, meta and para are marketed in their pure form (CAS No. 95-47-6, 108-38-3 and 106-42-3, respectively) or as a mixture (CAS No. 1330-20-7).
4.1 Physico-chemical properties
Xylenes are colorless liquids with a characteristic pleasant odor perceptible to the sense of smell at concentrations of the order of 1 ppm. Xylenes are practically insoluble in water (0.02% by weight at 20°C), but miscible with most organic solvents. They are also excellent solvents for fats, waxes, resins, etc.
Under normal conditions of use, xylenes are stable products. They react with many compounds and are important raw materials in organic synthesis.
