Overview of Mixed Xylene
Mixed xylene, composed of ortho, meta and para isomers of xylene, is an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent with an excellent solvency profile for resins, oils and organic substances. With an approximate boiling point between 138-144.4 °C, it has the unique property of being colourless yet smells pleasant! C8H10 Mixed xylene features excellent solubilization properties in organic formulations such as resins. Nonetheless, its colourlessness prevents it from being an appealing solvent for general purposes and may provide for easy solubility applications. It also boasts excellent solvent properties for resins, oils, and organic materials.
