Accredited Aromatic Solvent Testing
Xylene is a complex aromatic solvent consisting of three isomers (ortho-, meta-, and para-xylene) alongside ethylbenzene. AGT Labs provides Xylene Testing Services using ISO/IEC 17025 accredited methods for copper corrosion by industrial aromatic hydrocarbons (ASTM D849), color, acidity, nonvolatile matter, sulfur compounds, refractive index and odor.
Our analysis supports chemical plants, plastics manufacturers, and solvent blenders. Whether you require pure p-Xylene for Terephthalic Acid (PTA) production or mixed xylenes for industrial coatings, our accredited data helps confirm your feedstock is free of corrosive sulfur and contamination.
