Sodium xylene sulfonate is known as a hydrotrope. 
Hydrotropes are substances that are amphiphilic, in that they are composed of both a hydrophilic and a hydrophobic functional group. 
The hydrophobic part of the molecule is a benzene substituted non-polar segment. 
The hydrophilic polar segment is an anionic sulfonate group that is comparatively a short side chain, accompanied by a counter ion. 

Hydrotropes are used as coupling agents to solubilise the water-insoluble and often incompatible functional ingredients of household and institutional cleaning products and personal care products. 
The hydrotropes are not surfactants, but are used to solubilise complex formulas in water.

Sodium xylene sulfonate is a compound with general formula RSO2OH, where R is an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon. 
Sodium xylene sulfonate is a derivative of sulfuric acid (HOSO2OH) where an OH has been replaced by a carbon group or a compound where a hydrogen atom has been replaced by treatment with sulfuric acid; for example, benzene is converted to benzenesulfonic acid (water-soluble). 
Sodium xylene sulfonate has a sulfur atom bonded to a carbon atom of a hydrocarbon and bonded also to three oxygen atoms, one of which has been attached to a hydrogen atom.
