Petroleum Grade Mixed Xylene CAS#1330-20-7
Petroleum Grade Mixed Xylene is a high-purity aromatic solvent refined through professional naphtha cracking and precise distillation processes. With strictly controlled distillation range, low impurity content and stable chemical composition, this product fully meets the technical requirements of industrial paint formulation and on-site construction. It features a balanced and moderate volatilization speed, avoiding common coating defects such as whitening, fogging, orange peel and uneven film formation caused by too fast or too slow evaporation.
The mixed xylene exhibits excellent dissolving capacity for a wide range of raw materials, including alkyd resin, acrylic resin, nitrocellulose, synthetic grease and various coating additives. It can effectively dilute paint systems, improve fluidity and leveling performance, and enhance the uniformity and smoothness of finished coating films.
Widely recognized as a classic and reliable industrial thinner, it has stable solvent power, good compatibility and excellent construction adaptability. It is extensively applied in architectural coatings, industrial paints, printing inks, resin synthesis and other industries, serving as one of the most essential basic chemical materials for global coating manufacturers.
