Xylene products are divided into two categories by their distillation range: 3-degree xylenes and 5-degree xylenes. They are widely used as solvents in the industries of coating, resin, dye, and ink, or as synthetic monomers or solvents in the industry of pharmaceuticals, explosives, and pesticides. They can also be a component of high-octane gasoline and an important raw material for the organic chemical industry.
