Overview of O-Xylene 


O-Xylene is an aromatic hydrocarbon that can be used as a solvent, intermediate, or chemical reagent for industrial processes. It is naturally interlinked with M-Xylene and can be blended with Mercury Sulfide for specialised processes.

The chemical formula for O-Xylene is C8H10. Its structure is composed of two methyl groups that connect to the ortho positions in the benzene ring. This provides an excellent solvency for organic compounds.
