On an industrial scale, xylene compounds are produced through the process of catalytic reforming and also through the carbonisation during the manufacture of coke fuel. What Foods Contain Xylene?

The term' paint thinner' refers to a generic group of solvents and solvent blends that can dissolve oil-based coatings and reduce their viscosity. The most commonly used chemicals in thinners include:If you work with solvents or thinners regularly, you are probably familiar with the safety precautions, but nevertheless The HSE Guide to working with solvents is useful resource. Most of the paint strippers in our product category are suitable as a tile paint remover or gloss paint remover. Gagnaire, F.; Marignac, B.; Blachère, V.; Grossmann, S.; Langlais, C. (2007-03-07).

When stained, the samples are again dehydrated and placed in xylene. The sections are then mounted on microscope slides in a medium dissolved in xylene. A cover slip is put on top of each sample and the xylene is allowed to dry. Finally, the mounting medium hardens and binds the coverslip on the microscope slide. One of the most important uses of xylene is in medicine, particularly in histology or the microscopic examination of tissues What Is Xylene Used For In Painting? Thinner is used to allow the paint to atomise through the spray gun correctly and give a fine finish. If you are using a high pressure airless paint system then you may not require thinner as the pump will force the paint through the nozzle at high pressure.Turpentine - Turpentine or turps for short has several uses, but it makes an effective agent for thinning oil-based paints as well as removing paint residue, oil-based and acrylics. It has a dozen other useful cleaning uses not all relating to paint, including being able to remove tar and tree sap. However, it shouldn't be used to thin water, latex or shellac-based coatings. One of the most important uses of xylene is in medicine, particularly in histology or the microscopic examination of tissues. Here, it is used in the staining process of tissues for microscopy. In a nutshell, histopathologists can examine tissues for tell-tale signs of any disease. Tissues are prepared using paraffin wax for cutting, and xylene is used because it’s highly miscible with paraffin, making the cell transparent. p-Xylene is the principal precursor to terephthalic acid and dimethyl terephthalate, both monomers used in the production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic bottles and polyester clothing. 98% of p-xylene production, and half of all xylenes produced is consumed in this manner. [10] [15] o-Xylene is an important precursor to phthalic anhydride. The demand for isophthalic acid is relatively modest, so m-xylene is rarely sought (and hence the utility of its conversion to the o- and p-isomers).

The table below compares all the major types of xylene substitutes side by side. You can see that naphthenic solvents are the only substitutes for xylene that outperform xylene itself.
