A high-strength solvent similar to toluene. Xylene has a slower evaporation rate than toluene and this makes it more desirable for certain cleaning and degreasing purposes.
Xylene is designated by some paint manufacturers as a thinner for specialty paints and coatings, particularly synthetics. It also may be used as a lacquer additive in hot or humid weather.
