About Paraxylene
Paraxylene (PX), also known as P-Xylene, is an aromatic hydrocarbon. It is one of the 3 isomers of dimethylbenzene, popularly known as xylene. Para indicates that the 2 methyl groups in paraxylene occupy the diametrically opposite substituent positions 1 and 4. Paraxylene differs from orthoxylene and metaxylene based on the substitution pattern of the 2 methyl groups. Paraxylene is a colorless, volatile liquid and a very important raw material in the preparation of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) chips.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global paraxylene market to grow at a CAGR of 9.71% during the period 2017-2021.
