SHIVASOL™ Xylene
Manufactured by Shivtek Spechemi Industries Ltd, SHIVASOL™ Xylene is a high-quality aromatic hydrocarbon solvent formulated for industrial applications requiring excellent solvency, controlled evaporation, and consistent processing. Its compatibility with a wide range of resins, oils, waxes, and polymers makes it an essential solvent for coatings, adhesives, rubber processing, printing inks, and chemical manufacturing.
Product Overview
An Essential Solvent for Industrial Formulations
SHIVASOL™ Xylene is a mixed aromatic hydrocarbon solvent consisting of ortho-, meta-, and para-xylene isomers. Known for its excellent dissolving power, it effectively dissolves resins, polymers, oils, and waxes while supporting smooth application and consistent product performance across numerous industrial formulations.
In addition to its role as an industrial solvent, SHIVASOL™ Xylene serves as an important chemical intermediate in the production of phthalic anhydride and terephthalic acid. Its balanced evaporation rate and broad compatibility make it a preferred choice for manufacturers seeking reliable processing and high-quality finished products.
