Xylene is also commonly used in industries for degreasing, as a thinner for paints, and in the production of polyester fibers. However, in laboratory settings, its primary applications include:
- Histological processing of tissues
- Clearing agent in microscopy
- Solvent for resins and adhesives
- Extraction medium in chemical analysis
When handling xylene, always follow proper safety protocols. It is flammable and should be used in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood. Store the bottle tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from ignition sources.
