Appearance: Colorless liquid has a characteristic smell
Solubility: Insoluble in water, soluble in ethanol, ether, benzene.
Properties: Colorless transparent liquid. Insoluble in water, soluble in ethanol, and soluble in benzene, ether, and acetone in any proportion.
Storage: To ensure safety, store this material in a cool, well-ventilated warehouse, segregated from oxidizers. Implement explosion-proof lighting and ventilation, and utilize spark-resistant tools. Equip the storage area with spill control measures and appropriate containment. Employ fire-resistant storage practices, protect from sunlight, and handle with care to avoid damaging packaging. Pack in sealed ceramic, plastic, or glass containers, then encase in non-combustible padded wooden boxes, secured with wire. Limit each container to 50kg and clearly label with Flammable warnings.
Safety Protection：The toxicity is the same as xylene. It can irritate the nose and throat, cause pneumonia, damage the nervous system and liver, and can degrease the skin when in contact with it. The operation site should be well ventilated and the operator should wear protective equipment.
About Us: With over many years as a certified Mesitylene manufacturer, we combine innovation with stringent production standards to deliver high-performance product.
