Paraxylene is an isomer of xylene and derivative of benzene and is an aromatic hydrocarbon. Paraxylene is manufactured through a complex process in which catalytic reforming of naphtha to BTX, is carried out in the first stage. Fractional crystallization of xylene then leads to the formation of paraxylene. Globally, the development of the textile industry around the globe, the rise in the demand for Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) bottles due to the growing packaging industry, and the increasing requirement of polyester fiber are the prime growth drivers of the paraxylene market.
p-Xylene (para-xylene) is an aromatic hydrocarbon. It is one of the three isomers of dimethyl benzene known collectively as xylenes. The p- stands for para-, indicating that the two methyl groups in p-xylene occupy the diametrically opposite substituent positions 1 and 4. It is in the positions of the two methyl groups, their arene substitution pattern, that it differs from the other isomers, o-xylene, and m-xylene. All have the same chemical formula C6H4(CH3)2. All xylene isomers are colorless and highly flammable. The odor threshold of p-xylene is 0.62 parts per million (ppm.
p-Xylene is an important chemical feedstock. Among other industrial applications, it is a raw material in the large-scale synthesis of various polymers. In particular, it is a component in the production of terephthalic acid for polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate (generally known as PET). It also may be polymerized directly to produce perylene.
