Xylene
Xylene is widely considered one of the most reliable industrial chemicals and has many applications. Common xylene thinners are just the beginning. A few frequent applications include:
- Industrial cleaning. Xylene is ideal for heavy-duty cleaning applications. Its slow evaporation rate makes Xylene a superior solvent for specific cleaning and degreasing applications. It effectively cleans oil-based paint, varnish, or polyurethane application tools, lacquer and epoxy application tools, new wood before finishing, and oil coatings before refinishing. Xylene can also be used to degrease bare metal and painted metal parts.
- Petroleum production. Xylene solvent is frequently used to blend petroleum and gasoline.
- Labs. In laboratories, xylene solution is commonly used in chemical reactions or functionally to remove paraffin from microscope slides. Additionally, it can be used to make baths with dry ice.
- Chemistry. In addition to petroleum, Xylene is effective when blended for the printing industry and pharmaceuticals. It is also found in perfumes and pesticides.
- Concrete sealing. Xylene is commonly used for concrete sealing applications. When used in solvent-based acrylic sealers, the solution can be used in concert with re-melting an existing surface, after which the Xylene evaporates and leaves a smooth, shiny surface. Using Xylene is an effective method for treating scratches or for new decorative purposes.
- Thinner. Xylene paint thinner can be used for oil-based paints or stains, clearcoat, polyurethanes, epoxies, oil finishes, enamels, varnishes, and alkyd resins — but only when the coating manufacturer recommends it as an approved thinner.
- Remover. Xylene thinner is frequently used to remove paint. Xylene can be a very effective paint remover when handled safely and in a well-ventilated area.
- Degreaser. Degreasing metal and concrete surfaces can be incredibly challenging. However, the nature of Xylene makes it safe and effective.
