A Little Bit About o-Xylene
o-Xylene (a.k.a. Orthoxylene) is an aromatic hydrocarbon based on benzene with two methyl substituents, found in petroleum and coal tar. It is an important commercial isomer among the xylenes group (benzene derivatives). The most important application of orthoxylene is in the production of phthalic anhydride, widely used to produce esters, which are plasticizers for synthetic polymers. Exposure to o-xylene can lead to irritation on the skin, eyes, and respiratory system.
All xylene isomers should be stored in closed containers with appropriate labels in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources.
O-xylene is mainly employed in phthalic anhydride production for plasticizers. Other uses include vitamin/pharmaceutical synthesis, dyes, insecticides, motor fuel, and solvent for paints. This commodity can be used in the manufacture of derivatives, such as: maleic anhydride; phthalaldehyde; phthalic anhydride.
