About this product

Meta Xylene (m-Xylene, 1,3-dimethylbenzene, C8H10, CAS 108-38-3) is one of the three xylene isomers, supplied as a high-purity single-isomer aromatic solvent at 99.0 % wt minimum. Buyers specify it when a defined single isomer is required rather than a mixed-isomer blend, and we import it from Mitsubishi Gas Chemical, Japan. We supply from our Redhills, Chennai warehouse in ISO tank or bulk, with drums on enquiry, and dispatch across South India.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the CAS number of Meta Xylene?

The CAS number for Meta Xylene is 108-38-3. It is also written as m-Xylene or meta-xylene, and its chemical name is 1,3-dimethylbenzene (molecular formula C8H10).

What is the difference between ortho, meta and para xylene — and how is mixed xylene different?

Ortho, meta and para xylene are the three isomers of xylene, distinguished by where the two methyl groups sit on the benzene ring. We stock Meta Xylene (CAS 108-38-3) and Ortho Xylene (CAS 95-47-6) as separate single-isomer products, while Mixed Xylene (CAS 1330-20-7) is a blend of o-, m- and p-xylene with ethylbenzene.

Is xylol the same as meta xylene?

Not exactly. "Xylol" is used loosely in the solvent trade to describe xylene grades in general, so a buyer asking for xylol usually means Mixed Xylene. If you need the single isomer, specify Meta Xylene, CAS 108-38-3.

What is the specification and purity of your Meta Xylene?

We supply High-Purity grade at 99.0 % wt min m-Xylene, clear and colourless (10 APHA max), specific gravity 0.862 – 0.866 at 20/20 °C, distillation range 2.0 °C max including 139.1 °C, non-aromatics 1.0 % wt max, ethylbenzene 0.5 % wt max, o-Xylene + p-Xylene 1.0 % wt max, total sulphur 1.0 ppm max, moisture 100 ppm max, copper strip corrosion 1a (pass) and no free acid. These are the manufacturer's published specification values; a batch-specific COA accompanies every consignment.

What is the HSN code for Meta Xylene, and can I download the TDS?

Meta Xylene is classified under HSN code 2902 43 00. Our technical data sheet (doc no. SPC-TDS-ARO-006) is available for download from this product page.

Do you supply Meta Xylene in Chennai, and in what packaging?

Yes. We import Meta Xylene from Mitsubishi Gas Chemical, Japan, and hold it at our Redhills, Chennai warehouse for dispatch across South India. It moves in ISO tank or bulk, with drums available on enquiry; order sizes depend on packaging and current stock. For a quote, call or WhatsApp +91 86087 80096.
