Mesitylene

Mesitylene (1,3,5-trimethylbenzene) is a clear, colorless liquid with a mild aromatic odor and moderate volatility; it melts at −45 °C and boils at 165 °C. It is an aromatic hydrocarbon and a symmetrically substituted benzene derivative. Industrially, mesitylene serves primarily as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of resins, antioxidants, and specialty chemicals, including trimellitic anhydride via oxidation. Its applications span polymer production, coatings, and as a solvent or diluent in high-boiling aromatic solvent blends. It is also used in the manufacture of certain dyes and agrochemical intermediates.

It can be used for the production of trimesic acid and antioxidants, epoxy curing agents, stabilizers polyester resin, alkyd resin, plasticizers and dyes etc. It can be used as raw material of organic synthesis, it can be used in the preparation of trimesic acid, and antioxidants, epoxy curing agents, stabilizers polyester resin, alkyd resin, plasticizer, 2,4,6-trimethyl aniline reactive brilliant blue, K-3R and other dye. It can be used as analytical reagents, solvents, it can be also used in organic synthesis, etc.
It is colorless transparent liquid. It is insoluble in water, soluble in ethanol, it can dissolve in benzene, ether, acetone in any proportion.

This chemical is included in Basic Chemicals. See more about what is Mesitylene and Mesitylene SDS information.
