Xylol, also known as xylene, is an aromatic hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C₈H₁₀. It exists in three isomeric forms: ortho-xylene, meta-xylene, and para-xylene. Xylol is a colorless, flammable liquid with a sweet odor, primarily used as a solvent in various industries, including printing, rubber, and leather. It is also used in the production of paints, varnishes, and adhesives. In the chemical industry, xylol is a feedstock for the manufacture of terephthalic acid, a precursor to polyester. Due to its volatile nature, xylol must be handled with care to avoid inhalation and skin contact. It is essential in industrial applications for its ability to dissolve organic compounds, making it a valuable solvent.
