Xylene will dissolve bitumen. Bitumen is also know as asphalt cement, or just asphalt. A more appropriate solvent would be Stoddard solvent.
Petroleum-based solvents or mineral spirits are commonly used to wash bitumen from the hands due to their ability to dissolve and remove the sticky residue effectively. It is important to use gloves or protective equipment when working with bitumen to minimize contact with the skin.
o-xylene, m-xylene, and p-xylene are positional isomers, meaning they have the same molecular formula but differ in the position of the substituent groups on the benzene ring.
Xylene is a compound. It is a mixture of three isomeric aromatic hydrocarbons: o-xylene, m-xylene, and p-xylene.
Potassium chloride is not soluble in xylene.
There are about 7.5 pounds in a gallon of para-xylene.
Xylene liquid will.
Depends on type and quantity of oil, but it tends to dissolve the bitumen binder and so destroy the asphalt.

Xylene is a compound. It is a mixture of three isomeric aromatic hydrocarbons: o-xylene, m-xylene, and p-xylene.
There are three main types of xylene: ortho-xylene (o-xylene), meta-xylene (m-xylene), and para-xylene (p-xylene). These are isomers of each other, meaning they have the same chemical formula but their atoms are arranged in different ways.
Ethanol+Water+p-Xylene is an Azeotropic mixture ------------ For p-xylene, zeotropic, but for x-xylene, contradictory results. Please see the links.
Dissolve foam in xylene to desired thickness. Let stand until fine bubbles disperse and turns clear.
Basic equation for xylene is C8H10.Xylene is di-methyl benzene and comes in three different forms (isomers) :1,2-dimethylbenzene also called orthoxylene sometime shortened to o-xylene1,3-dimethylbenzene also called metaxylene sometimes shortened to m-xyleneand1,4-dimethylbenzene also called paraxylene sometimes shortened to p-xylene
why bitumen is used
Xylene is an organic solvent which is miscible with alcohol and wax. In histochemistry alcohol is used to dehydrate tissue sections and then this alcohol is further replaced by xylene (being miscible with alcohol) in a process called as clearing. After this DPX is used to mount cover slips on the sections. One more use of xylene is to dissolve wax which is used to make sections of tissues. Hence, we see that xylene is a clearing agent capable of dissolving wax as well as alcohol.
