Mesitylene Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- 1,3,5-Trimethylbenzene
- 3,5-Dimethyltoluene
Mesitylene supplier for coatings, fine chemical and polymer buyers in Malaysia. This page covers mesitylene, the symmetrical 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene isomer also known as 3,5-dimethyltoluene, selected by grade and purity.
Technical and high-purity grades can be requested. The material is a colourless liquid with a high boiling point, miscible with common organic solvents and practically insoluble in water. High-purity grade is chosen where synthesis work demands low impurity levels.
Coatings and resin formulators use mesitylene as a slow-evaporating aromatic solvent. It also serves as an intermediate in fine chemical synthesis and as a diluent in polymer and resin processing.
Send the technical or high-purity grade, purity and related-aromatic limits, application, quantity and delivery location. The quotation confirms the offered mesitylene grade, liquid packing, documents and delivery timing. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.

Common questions about mesitylene
What is mesitylene used for?
Mesitylene is a high-boiling aromatic solvent and a synthesis intermediate. It is used in coatings and resin systems, in fine chemical manufacture and as a diluent in polymer processing.
Is mesitylene the same as other trimethylbenzene isomers?
No. Mesitylene is specifically the 1,3,5 isomer. The 1,2,4 and 1,2,3 trimethylbenzene isomers are separate products with their own specifications, so request them under their own names.
Which grade of mesitylene should I request?
Technical grade suits solvent and diluent work, while high-purity material is chosen for synthesis and development where impurity limits matter. State the application and any purity requirement with the enquiry.
What packing is mesitylene supplied in?
State the grade, quantity, preferred liquid pack format and any receiving or document requirements. The quotation confirms the liquid pack offered for the selected mesitylene grade and quantity.
How is mesitylene priced for Malaysian buyers?
Price depends on technical or high-purity grade, purity and related-aromatic limits, quantity and delivery scope. Send those details for a quotation with its stated validity period.
