Versatile Industrial Applications

Ortho Xylene serves as a critical solvent in several industries including paints, coatings, chemicals, dyes, and pharmaceuticals. Its ability to dissolve and interact with various organic compounds makes it an essential material for manufacturers seeking high performance and consistency.


Comprehensive Safety and Storage Guidelines

Store Ortho Xylene in tightly closed containers within cool, dry, and well-ventilated spaces. Its flammable nature (Hazard Class 3, UN 1999) requires strict fire safety protocols. Keep it away from strong oxidizing agents and ensure that storage and handling conform to IMDG and IATA transport codes.

FAQs of Ortho Xylene:


Q: How should Ortho Xylene be stored for optimal safety?

A: Ortho Xylene should be stored in tightly sealed containers, kept in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Ensure storage areas are free from strong oxidizing agents to prevent hazardous reactions.

Q: What is the main industrial usage of Ortho Xylene?

A: The primary industrial application of Ortho Xylene is as a solvent for paints, coatings, and chemicals. It is also crucial in producing phthalic anhydride, dyes, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals.

Q: When does Ortho Xylene pose a flammability risk during use or transport?

A: Ortho Xylene presents a flammability risk at temperatures above its flash point of 46C. Adherence to transport regulations (IMDG Code: 3, ICAO/IATA: 3) and utilization of appropriate packaging (such as 200L drums or ISO tanks) help mitigate these risks.

Q: Where can Ortho Xylene be utilized for best performance?

A: Ortho Xylene is best utilized in controlled industrial environments such as paint manufacturing plants, chemical processing facilities, and production sites for pharmaceuticals, ensuring proper handling and ventilation.

Q: What are the key safety procedures for handling Ortho Xylene?

A: Use protective equipment, ensure adequate ventilation, and avoid inhalation or skin contact. In the event of a spill, remove ignition sources and utilize absorbing materials suitable for flammable liquids.

Q: How does using Ortho Xylene benefit industrial manufacturing processes?

A: Due to its high purity and excellent solvency, Ortho Xylene ensures efficient blending, improved performance of end-products, and supports large-scale manufacturing of high-quality coatings, chemicals, and pharmaceutical components.
