Frequently Asked Questions
Who are the ortho xylene manufacturers in India?
In India, ortho xylene is produced at large refinery-petrochemical complexes. The material we distribute is manufactured by Reliance Industries Limited at its Jamnagar Manufacturing Division, Gujarat, and tested at its Central Laboratory. Supreme Petro Chemicals is a distributor, not a manufacturer — we stock this Reliance-made, petrochemical-grade o-xylene (98.5% min) in Chennai and dispatch across South India.
What is the CAS number of ortho xylene, and is it the same as 1,2-dimethylbenzene?
Ortho xylene has CAS number 95-47-6. Yes — ortho xylene, o-xylene and 1,2-dimethylbenzene are the same chemical; o-xylene is simply the short form of ortho-xylene.
What is ortho xylene used for?
Ortho xylene is used mainly as the feedstock for phthalic anhydride, which goes into plasticizers such as DOP and DBP, alkyd resins and unsaturated polyesters. It also serves as an aromatic solvent in paints, coatings and printing inks.
What is the difference between ortho xylene and mixed xylene?
Ortho xylene is a single isomer — 1,2-dimethylbenzene at 98.50 wt% min purity — bought chiefly as a chemical feedstock. Mixed xylene is a blend of o-, m- and p-xylene with ethylbenzene, used as a general-purpose solvent. We stock both — see our Mixed Xylene page.
What grade of ortho xylene do you supply?
We supply petrochemical grade, 98.5% min — 98.50 wt% min o-xylene, clear liquid free from sediments, total sulphur 1.0 wt ppm max, specific gravity 0.8820–0.8850 at 15.5/15.5 °C. Specifications follow the manufacturer's Certificate of Quality from Reliance Industries; the TDS (doc no. SPC-TDS-ARO-005) and MSDS are available on this page.
Can you supply ortho xylene in bulk tankers in Chennai?
