p-Xylene (1,4-dimethylbenzene, C₈H₁₀) is the para isomer of xylene, produced ~50 million tonnes annually as the dedicated feedstock for PET (via PTA). Among the three xylene isomers (ortho/meta/para), the para isomer holds D₂h symmetry and is by far the most commercially valuable — but the hardest to separate, requiring UOP Parex zeolite adsorption.
