Para Xylene (Paraxylene) is a widely used aromatic hydrocarbon isomer of xylene produced by catalyst for various commercial applications, most notably for the plastics industry. The Asia-Pacific Para Xylene Market has around 82.7% of market share value in 2013, and is projected to reach 84.2% by 2018, growing at a CAGR of 11.6%. Asia-Pacific Para Xylene market has grown considerably during the past few years and is expected to grow at a more rapid pace in the next five years, currently more than half of the total global consumed in manufacturing of purified terephthalic acid and dimethyle esters which are used in polyester manufacturing industry. China is the largest consumer of Para Xylene in Asia-Pacific, consuming about almost 40.8% of the total global demand in 2013.
Para Xylene is isomer of xylene with two methyl group bonded to adjacent carbon atoms to each other. Para Xylene is manufactured by crystallization and adsorption processes. It is basically used in the manufacturing of terepthalic acid (TPA), purified terepthalic acid (PTA) and dimethyl-terephthalate (DMT) which are ultimately used to manufacture polyethylene terephthalate (PET) saturated polyester polymers. Polyesters are used to produce fibre and films PET bottles are widely used for water because of its non-breakage properties as well as carbonated beverages because of good carbon dioxide barrier properties. In addition, they are light-weight, shatter-resistant and possess high tensile strength. Lots of new processes are being developed to produce Para Xylene.
