Xylene sold as an isomer mixture is the aromatic workhorse behind a large share of industrial coatings, inks and crop-protection formulations. It brings ortho-, meta- and para-xylene together in one stream, so a single drum gives you the solvency and boiling behaviour of the whole isomer family rather than one narrow cut of it.
On the plant floor that means strong solvency for resins, oils and pigment dispersions, a moderate evaporation rate that lets a film level before it sets, and a neutral, water-insoluble liquid that separates cleanly if condensate ever reaches a storage tank. Total aromatic content is high and sulfur is kept low, which is what makes the grade useful both as a thinner and as a reaction medium.
We produce industrial-grade material at ≥98.5% purity through catalytic reforming and aromatic extraction, and it leaves the plant as a clear, colourless liquid with the familiar aromatic odour. Working from Dongying in Shandong, we are a chemicals supplier and mtbe manufacturer, and we keep this specification as a standing line, so next quarter's lot matches what is sitting in your tank today. If your process needs a single isomer rather than the mixture, tell us before you order — that is a different purchase and we will say so plainly.

Aromatic strength. High total aromatic content is what separates xylene from aliphatic and oxygenated thinners. It dissolves resins, oils and pigment concentrates that weaker solvents only wet out, which is why coating plants reach for it when a formulation will not come down to spraying viscosity on its own.
Sulfur kept low. The solvent comes from catalytic reforming and aromatic extraction rather than a cracked stream, so sulfur is held at a low level. That matters in coatings and inks where a sulfur load can carry odour or interfere with cure, and in feedstock use where the next unit is sensitive to it.
Evaporation you can work with. The moderate evaporation rate sits between the fast acetates and the slow glycol ethers. A film has time to level and release air before it sets, so brush and roller marks flow out and spray edges blend — an advantage in decorative and industrial coatings, and the wrong choice on a line that must dry in seconds.
Neutral and water-insoluble. Acidity is neutral, so the solvent does not drag the acid value of a formulation with it. It is also insoluble in water, so condensate that enters a tank separates and can be drawn off instead of diluting the batch.
Economical per unit of solvency. Mixed xylene is one of the highest-volume aromatic solvents in the petrochemical industry, which keeps it price-competitive against specialty solvents doing the same dissolving job. It pumps and meters easily and slots into existing thinning and dosing lines without special equipment.
Consistent lot to lot. Because this is a standing line rather than a spot parcel, the boiling range and aromatic content you qualify is the same profile you reorder, which is what protects your formulation from drifting between deliveries.
Mixture or separated isomer. This grade is the mixed stream — ortho-, meta- and para-xylene carried together and sold on total aromatic content, boiling range and purity rather than on the content of any one isomer. Coatings, ink vehicles, pesticide EC solvents, dye dispersions and industrial cleaners are all formulated on exactly that profile. A separated isomer is bought on the opposite basis: para-xylene for purified terephthalic acid and ortho-xylene for phthalic anhydride are specified by a minimum isomer content, and a mixture will fail that gate at incoming inspection however clean the rest of the certificate looks. If your purchase specification names a single isomer or sets a floor for one, raise it before the order is placed — we will tell you what we can supply rather than load a container that your laboratory will reject.
What the published figures leave open. The specification sets the frame, not every number. The ortho/meta/para split of the lot you actually receive, its sulfur figure, water content, colour and non-aromatic balance are released on the batch certificate of analysis rather than fixed in the datasheet. Ask for the COA of the lot on the water and check the basis of the assay: gas-chromatography area percent and weight percent give different figures for the same material, and your incoming specification almost certainly names one of them. Where a density, a distillation end point or a specific gravity matters to your dosing or to a blending calculation, request the lot value instead of assuming a typical figure carries over.
Questions to send with the enquiry. Tell us the end use and whether any VOC or aromatic-content limit applies to the finished product, since that can rule a grade in or out before price is discussed. State the isomer tolerance your process allows and any ceiling on water or sulfur. Confirm how the material will be received on site — drum, IBC, ISO tank or tank truck — so the packing and the unloading arrangement match your containment and pump setup. List the documents your customs and HSE teams need for the destination. If you want to qualify the solvent in your own formulation first, a bench sample can be arranged: samples are free of charge, with the courier cost carried by you. Anything left open at that stage is worth closing before the deposit, because a mismatch found on arrival costs far more than the questions do.

Shandong Yingtai Chemical Co., Ltd. operates from Dongying, Shandong, in the heart of China's petrochemical industry and home to the Shengli Oilfield. Our 60,000㎡ park-based facility runs modern plants with automated control systems and integrated utilities, and a team of over 200 people covers R&D, production and sales of high-value-added fine chemicals. We supply seven core chemical categories, backed by stable quality and consistent availability, and work alongside buyers on sourcing, product application and technical support. Custom requirements are reviewed case by case — share your specification and volume and we will confirm feasibility.
For coatings, inks and cleaning blends the mixed isomer product is the standard choice — you want the full aromatic boiling range and the solvency that comes with it. Feedstock routes to purified terephthalic acid need a para-xylene-rich stream and phthalic anhydride production runs on ortho-xylene, so if you are buying for a synthesis rather than a formulation, share the isomer distribution your process requires and we will confirm what the mixed grade can support.
It is slower, and deliberately so. The moderate evaporation rate gives a film time to level and flow before it sets, which suits brush and roller application and coatings that need an open time. It is the wrong tool for a line that has to dry in seconds — a fast acetate is the better fit there, and we will tell you that rather than sell xylene into a job it cannot do.
Yes. Xylene is one of the standard solvent phases for EC formulations, dissolving the technical active and carrying the emulsifier into the concentrate. Actives differ in solubility, so run a small batch first and check emulsion stability and bloom in the water you will actually dilute with. If an active needs an aromatic-free carrier, say so and we will point you elsewhere.
It can, and blenders use it where the soil is resin, ink or heavy grease that aliphatic and oxygenated solvents will not shift. Two constraints shape the formula: the solvent is flammable, so the finished cleaner carries a flammable label and matching handling instructions, and local VOC rules may cap aromatic content. Tell us the intended use and we will quote the grade that fits it.
Mixed xylene carries ortho-, meta- and para-xylene together and is sold on total aromatic content and boiling range; it is the grade formulated products are built on. Single-isomer grades are separated for specific syntheses — para-xylene for PTA, ortho-xylene for phthalic anhydride — and are bought against a much tighter isomer specification. Our industrial grade is the mixture; if your process needs a separated isomer, that is a different purchase.
Sulfur stays low because of the production route — catalytic reforming followed by aromatic extraction — and the exact figure for your lot appears on the certificate of analysis rather than in a brochure. Every shipment carries a COA and an SDS. As a chemicals supplier we also hold historical SGS reports and can arrange an SGS inspection before loading if your approval process needs a third party to look at the parcel.
They are different tools. Xylene is an aromatic with strong resin solvency and a moderate evaporation rate; MTBE is an ether and behaves very differently in a formulation, so the two are not interchangeable. We produce both — as an mtbe solvent manufacturer we can quote them on one order and one set of documents, which saves you maintaining a second supplier file.
Both sit on the gasoline side of the barrel: xylene brings high-octane aromatics and MTBE brings oxygen and octane, and blenders use them in different proportions depending on the specification being met. Where a buyer needs the mtbe chemical alongside aromatic solvents, we quote it from our own production, so both can be covered on one contract and one shipment plan.
