Xylene Solvent Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Xylol
- Dimethylbenzene
- Mixed Xylene
- Mixed Xylenes
Xylene solvent supplier in Malaysia for paint, coating, ink, adhesive, rubber and industrial process buyers. Also called xylol, dimethylbenzene or mixed xylene, this aromatic C8H10 solvent is selected for resin solvency, evaporation behaviour and general industrial solvent performance.
Commercial coverage centres on mixed xylene solvent grade, industrial grade and technical grade liquid. Isomer-composition-specified material and pure ortho-, meta- or para-xylene are quoted only when that identity is stated separately. Mixed xylene and a pure isomer do not share one universal specification.
Coatings and printing-ink makers use xylene in paints, lacquers, thinners and selected resin systems. Related demand covers adhesives, rubber processing, chemical manufacturing and industrial degreasing. This page excludes sodium xylene sulfonate, PCMX and other chemically different products.

Xylene grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mixed xylene solvent grade | clear aromatic liquid | mixed-xylene solvent specification | Standard industrial xylene solvent for paints, coatings, printing inks, adhesives, resins and general aromatic solvent work where a mixed-isomer grade is acceptable. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Industrial-grade xylene | clear aromatic liquid | industrial specification | Broader manufacturing, rubber processing, degreasing and process solvent duties where an industrial mixed-xylene grade meets the buyer specification. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Technical-grade xylene | clear aromatic liquid | technical specification | Formulation and process solvent use when the buyer states purity, colour, water, distillation range or non-volatile residue limits for mixed xylene. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Isomer-composition-specified xylene | clear aromatic liquid | isomer ratio and limits confirmed to requirement | Applications that need a stated ortho-, meta- and para-xylene balance, or a pure isomer only when that identity is ordered separately from mixed xylene. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Xylene applications
Safety and handling
Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place away from ignition sources, heat and strong oxidisers. Handle as a flammable aromatic solvent and follow the safety information for the quoted grade. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
Common questions about xylene
Are xylene, xylol, dimethylbenzene and mixed xylene the same product?
Xylene, xylol and dimethylbenzene are established names for the same C8H10 aromatic solvent family. Mixed xylene is the usual industrial trade form, a blend of ortho-, meta- and para-isomers. Pure single-isomer material is a separate identity and should be stated explicitly in the enquiry.
Which xylene grade should an industrial buyer request?
Mixed xylene solvent grade or industrial grade is commonly specified for paints, coatings, inks, adhesives, rubber work and general degreasing. Technical grade or isomer-composition-specified material suits buyers with tighter purity or isomer limits. Pure ortho-, meta- or para-xylene is quoted only when that isomer is required.
Is mixed xylene the same as sodium xylene sulfonate or PCMX?
No. Mixed xylene is an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent. Sodium xylene sulfonate (SXS) is a hydrotrope used in detergents, and PCMX (chloroxylenol) is a different phenolic biocide. None of those products is a grade or alias of xylene solvent.
What specifications should be included in a xylene enquiry?
State whether mixed xylene or a pure isomer is required, and include any limits for isomer composition, purity, colour, water, distillation range or residue that matter to the process. A current purchasing specification is the clearest basis for grade matching.
Can xylene solvent be used in paint, ink and adhesive formulations?
Yes. Mixed xylene is widely used as an aromatic solvent in paints, industrial coatings, printing inks, adhesives and related resin systems. Suitability depends on the resin, drying profile and grade limits, so buyers should describe the application and required specification in the enquiry.
What details are needed for a xylene price enquiry?
Provide the grade or isomer identity, target specification, application, quantity and delivery location. Mention preferred packing and documentation needs so the quotation can address the complete requirement.
