Caution
Xylene is largely a synthetic chemical, often known as xylol or dimethylbenzene. Petroleum is used in the chemical industry to generate xylene. It is also found naturally in petroleum and coal tar and, to a lesser level, during forest fires. It has a nice odour and is colourless and combustible.
One of the most common uses for xylene is as a lubricant, and it may be found in motor oil or brake fluid. The solvent characteristics of xylene are employed in printing, rubber, and leather processing. It is found in lubricants, paints and paint thinners, polishes, waxes, antifreeze, sealants, adhesives, and even gasoline and cigarettes. Some glues include xylene and it can also be used to clean.
