Paraxylene (PX) is an aromatic hydrocarbon derived from benzene and Arena Petro Gas is in position to supply and export it directly from BANDAR IMAM PETROCHEMICAL - ESFAHAN PETROCHEMICAL - NOURI PETROCHEMICAL COMPANY through its trading services according to the following specification and technical properties.
Paraxylene (PX) an aromatic hydrocarbon derive from benzene, with two methyl groups attached to opposite positions on the benzene ring. It is one of the three isomers of xylene, along with ortho-xylene and meta-xylene. Paraxylene mainly uses as a feedstock for the production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a type of plastic that widely uses for bottles, fabrics, films and other applications. PET is produced by reacting paraxylene with oxygen to form purified terephthalic acid (PTA) or dimethyl terephthalate (DMT), which are then polymerized with ethylene glycol. Paraxylene is a colorless liquid with a sweet odor and a low solubility in water. It is flammable and can cause irritation to the eyes, skin and respiratory system if exposed to high concentrations.
Paraxylene use in various industries that require PET products:
- food and beverage packaging
- textile
- clothing
- electronics
- medical
- automotive.
It also use as a raw material for other chemicals, such as diethyl phthalate, which is a plasticizer, and phthalic anhydride, which use for alkyd resins and dyes. Paraxylene is mainly produced by catalytic reforming of naphtha or by separating mixed xylenes from pyrolysis gasoline.
It has different technical specifications depending on the producer and the end-user. Some of the common parameters that measure are purity, density, color, acidity, bromine index and non-aromatic hydrocarbons.
The specification of Bandar Imam Petrochemical Company (BIPC) Paraxylene:
a minimum purity of 99.7%, a density of 0.861 g/mL at 20°C, a color of less than 5 Pt-Co units, an acidity of less than 1 mg KOH/g, a bromine index of less than 50 mg Br/100g and a non-aromatic hydrocarbon content of less than 0.1%. Similarly,
