Product Overview
m-Xylene is a high-purity aromatic hydrocarbon solvent widely used in laboratory settings for its excellent solvency properties and low impurity profile. This ACS reagent-grade solvent is meticulously purified to ensure consistency and reliability in critical applications such as chromatography, organic synthesis, and analytical testing. Its clear, colorless appearance and stable chemical structure make it an ideal choice for dissolving nonpolar compounds, extracting organic materials, and serving as a reaction medium in various chemical processes. The solvent is carefully packaged to prevent contamination and evaporation, ensuring long-term stability and performance. With a boiling point of approximately 139°C and a density of 0.86 g/mL, m-Xylene offers a balanced combination of volatility and solvency, making it suitable for both high-temperature reactions and delicate separations. Its low water content and minimal residual impurities further enhance its suitability for sensitive analytical techniques. Whether used as a standalone solvent or in combination with other reagents, this high-quality m-Xylene delivers consistent results, reducing variability in experimental outcomes.
