Description
Epochem Xylene (Lab Grade)
Tikweld Welding Supplies and Services is the distributor of Epochem Chemicals in Nigeria. Epochem Xylene (Lab Grade) is a high-purity, reagent-grade solvent ideal for laboratory, analytical, and industrial applications requiring precision, volatility, and consistency. Commonly used in histology labs, cleaning procedures, extraction processes, and chemical analysis, xylene provides excellent solvency for resins, waxes, and fats.
It is a clear, colourless, sweet-aromatic liquid, composed of a blend of xylene isomers (o-, m-, p-xylenes) and meets analytical reagent-grade standards for high-accuracy scientific and laboratory work.
Key Features and Benefits of Epochem Xylene (Lab Grade):
- Reagent-grade purity – Ideal for laboratory and diagnostic applications
- Flammable solvent – Low boiling point for rapid evaporation
- Sweet aromatic odor – Standard for lab and industrial use
- Excellent solvency – Effective in dissolving oils, resins, adhesives, and cleaning residues
- Packaged in 2.5-litre lab-grade containers with tight-seal safety caps
Common Applications of Epochem Xylene (Lab Grade)
- Tissue processing and staining in histology labs
- Degreasing metal parts in industrial and automotive maintenance
