Rexall Xylene

Xylene can thin specified oil-based paint, lacquer, varnish, epoxy, adhesives and synthetic enamels when a slower rate of evaporation is desired.

Xylene is widely considered one of the most reliable industrial chemicals, with a wide range of 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 be used for degreasing bare metal and painted metal parts.
• Petroleum production. Xylene solvent is frequently used for blending into 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.
