Latest News and Developments:
- September 2025: A study on gas–particle partitioning of m-xylene and naphthalene in atmospheric oxidation experiments found that temperature and the VOC/NOₓ ratio significantly affect the formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) from m-xylene. The work used a high-resolution mass spectrometer in an oxidation flow reactor to identify reaction products. The study was carried out by researchers at Aix‑Marseille University (in collaboration with CNRS), at their LCE laboratory in Marseille, France.
Product Description
M-xylene, a chemical compound with the molecular formula C₆H₄(CH₃)₂, is an aromatic hydrocarbon classified as one of the three isomers of xylene. It is characterized by its structure where two methyl groups (-CH₃) are attached to adjacent carbon atoms on the benzene ring, specifically located at the meta (1,3-) positions. M-Xylene is a colorless, flammable liquid with a sweet odor, commonly used as a precursor in the production of various chemicals such as phthalic anhydride, isophthalic acid, and dimethyl terephthalate. It finds extensive industrial applications, including as a solvent in paint and coating formulations, in the manufacture of polyester fibers and resins, and as a component in gasoline blending. Due to its chemical properties and industrial uses, m-xylene is produced in large quantities globally, contributing significantly to the chemical and petrochemical sectors.
