What is 1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene CAS 95-63-6?
1,2, 4-trimethylbenzene, as a key aromatic hydrocarbon raw material, is irreplaceable in the fields of plasticizers, electronic solvents, and pharmaceutical synthesis. However, its flammability (flash point < 49℃) and health risks need to be strictly controlled. The future market will be driven by industrialization in the Asia-Pacific region and green technologies (such as the synthesis of biodegradable plastics). Investment should focus on efficient catalytic processes and the construction of regional supply chains.
1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene CAS 95-63-6 Use
Chemical raw materials
Produce plasticizers (such as trioctyl phthalic anhydride /TOTM) and epoxy resin curing agents;
Synthesize the precursor of vitamin E (trimethylhydroquinone).
Solvent: Used in coatings, inks, and electronic cleaning agents (dissolving photoresists and packaging materials).
Pharmaceuticals and pesticides: Synthetic drugs (such as benzbromarone), dyes and pesticide intermediates.
New materials: Production of water-soluble alkyd resins and unsaturated polyester resins.
1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene CAS 95-63-6 safety
Health hazard:
It irritates the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. High concentration inhalation inhibits the central nervous system and may cause headache and nausea.
Acute toxicity: Rats inhaled LC₅₀=18,000 mg/m³ (4 hours), and intraperitoneally injected LD₅₀=2,000 mg/kg.
Environmental hazard: Toxic to aquatic organisms and poses a long-term and persistent hazard (WGK Level 2).
Protective measures: Wear a gas mask, chemical goggles, anti-permeation work clothes and rubber gloves during operation.
Leakage treatment: Adsorb with sand or build embankments to contain the leakage to prevent it from entering water bodies.
