About p-Xylene, AR

Vaqora Chemicals supplies p-Xylene (AR grade), an analytical reagent grade solvent registered under CAS number 106-42-3. Formula C8H10, molecular weight 106.16 g/mol. Systematically, it is named 1,4-xylene. It is also known as 1,4-Dimethylbenzene or Para-Xylene.

It is supplied as a liquid. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place, away from sources of ignition, with the container tightly sealed. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Warning”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

Key uses span analytical reagent work, extraction and recrystallisation and titrimetric analysis. Buyers come mainly from academic and industrial research and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Vaqora Chemicals supplies p-Xylene in 500 mL and 2.5 L packs, each shipped with a Certificate of Analysis (COA), and exports worldwide. A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and technical specifications are available on request.
