Hi, Myriam,
 
CBG Biotech (a company that does solvent recycling) has a Formula 83 clearing solvent that they say replaces xylene.   Our hospital has received a sample of it, but we have not yet tried it (I think it has naphtha but not sure).   Their email address is cbgbiotech.com, if you want to check it out.   Hope this will work for you.

Subject: [Histonet] substitute for xylene


Hello everyone

i have some samples made of polystyrene and i want to embed them in paraffin or 
MMA. But xylene and toluene attacks polystyrene. DO you Know another clearing 
agent to replace Xylene ?
Thank you very much in advance.
