Applications
Polyester Fiber Production
Oxidation of para - xylene can produce terephthalic acid (PTA), which is a raw material for manufacturing polyester fibers such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET). PET fibers are widely used in the textile industry to make various clothing fabrics, home textiles, etc.
Plastic Manufacturing
Used to produce engineering plastics such as polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). PBT has good heat resistance, excellent electrical conductivity, high mechanical strength, and a high melting point. It can be used to make complex - shaped parts or thin - walled parts and can also prepare flame - retardant plastics, playing an important role in electronic appliances, automobiles, and other fields.
Film Materials
Poly - para - xylene can be made into film structures. As a new type of polymer material, it has excellent electrical insulation properties, physical and mechanical properties, as well as characteristics such as moisture resistance, mold resistance, and smoke resistance. It is commonly used in electronics, optics, aviation, medicine, national defense, and other fields.
Other Aspects
Para - xylene is also a raw material for manufacturing plasticizers and can be used as a solvent, chromatographic analysis standard substance, etc. It also has certain applications in pesticides, medicine, coatings, dyes, and other industries.
Hazards and Protection
Health Hazards
Para - xylene can enter the human body through inhalation, skin absorption, and oral intake. It has a stimulating effect on the eyes and upper respiratory tract, and high concentrations can have an anesthetic effect on the central nervous system.
Environmental Hazards
Para - xylene has a certain degree of volatility, and its vapor may cause pollution to the atmospheric environment. At the same time, if it enters water bodies, it may cause harm to aquatic organisms.
Protective Measures
In the process of production, storage, and use of para - xylene, effective protective measures should be taken, such as wearing protective glasses, gloves, masks, etc., ensuring good ventilation in the workplace, and setting up combustible gas alarms.
