26-Dimethylnaphthalene (26-DMN) is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon. It is one of the many possible dimethylnaphthalene isomers which are derived from naphthalene by the addition of two methyl groups. 26-DMN is of commercial importance as a starting material for high-performance polyester fibers and films. Polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) is made using the oxidation product of 26- DMN.
