1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene (Pseudocumene) 98% / 99% CAS No. 95-63-6 Industrial & Pharmaceutical Grade

1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene, available in 98% and 99% concentrations, is produced via advanced fractionation and purification technologies from petroleum refining streams or coal tar distillation. It features excellent solvency power, moderate volatility, and exceptional chemical stability as a trimethyl-substituted aromatic hydrocarbon. As an important industrial intermediate, it is widely used in the production of trimellitic anhydride, pharmaceutical synthesis, dye manufacturing, and specialty chemical production. Its high purity and consistent isomer composition make it ideal for critical applications requiring precise chemical properties. Each batch is rigorously tested using GC analysis to ensure consistent quality meeting industrial and pharmaceutical standards.
