Mixed Xylene is a colourless and flammable aromatic hydrocarbon liquid with a sweet odour. Mixed Xylene is a mixture of different isomers of xylenes, such as meta-xylene, Paraxylene, ortho-xylene and ethylbenzene. The distribution of isomers in xylene varies. Commercial xylenes from petroleum sources contain approximately 40% – 50% m-xylene, 20% o-xylene, 20% p-xylene and 5% – 15% ethylbenzene. Around 98% of Paraxylene is consumed by the polyester chain for the production of film, fibre and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), through one of the two intermediates: dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) or purified terephthalic acid (PTA). Meta-xylene is used in the production of isophthalic acid. Ortho-Xylene is used in the production of phthalic anhydride. Mixed Xylene is also used as a solvent in different end-use industries. Mixed Xylene is an essential base material for various chemicals and thus, the global market is expected to register robust growth during the forecast period and reach a market value of US$ 74.79 Bn by 2028.
