CAS 108-38-3: m-Xylene

Description: m-Xylene, also known as meta-xylene, is an aromatic hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C8H10. It is one of the three isomers of xylene, the others being o-xylene and p-xylene. m-Xylene is a colorless, flammable liquid with a sweet odor, commonly found in petroleum and coal tar. It has a boiling point of approximately 139°C and a melting point of about -25°C. This compound is less soluble in water but highly soluble in organic solvents. m-Xylene is primarily used as a solvent in various industrial applications, including paint thinners, varnishes, and adhesives. It also serves as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals, such as phthalic anhydride and isophthalic acid. Exposure to m-xylene can occur through inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion, and it may pose health risks, including respiratory irritation and central nervous system effects. Proper handling and safety measures are essential when working with this substance to minimize potential hazards.
