Mesitylene Market is Booming Worldwide at Unstoppable Rate | Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company Inc., The DOW Chemical Company
Mesitylene, also known as 1, 3, 5-trimethylbenzene is a benzene derivative containing three methyl substituents symmetrically positioned around the benzene ring. Mesitylene is a colourless liquid that is insoluble in water and has a sweet aromatic odour. It is made by methylating xylene over a solid acid catalyst.
Coal tar is the traditional source of
mesitylene. Mesitylene's three aromatic hydrogen atoms are in chemical shift
settings that are similar. As a result, only a single peak at 6.8 ppm is
produced by these three atoms. As a result, in NMR samples containing aromatic
protons, mesitylene is utilised as an internal standard.
During the forecast period, multiple
uses of mesitylene in various end-use industries are expected to enhance demand
for mesitylene. Mesitylene, for example, is a precursor to a variety of
excellent compounds. Trifluoroperacetic acid oxidises it to form mesitol, which
is used to prevent pitch difficulties, fix basic dyestuff, and eliminate
mottling. By oxidising mesitylene, uvitic acid is produced. It's also in
various avgas (aviation gasoline) blends as an additive and component.
Mesitylene is a specialised solvent used in laboratories. In organometallic
chemistry, such as the organomolybdenum complex, it can also act as a ligand.
Furthermore, the use of mesitylene as
an intermediate is one of the primary drivers driving the mesitylene market's growth.
Mesitylene is mostly employed as a precursor of 2, 4, 6-trimethylamine, which
is a colourant precursor. Due to demand from a variety of end-use sectors, the
colour and dyestuff market is quickly expanding. The global dyestuff market for
cotton alone was valued at US$ 2.21 billion (income) and 830.7-kilo tonnes
(volume) in 2016, according to Coherent Market Insights (CMI). The demand for
abundant raw materials is growing due to the widespread use of pigments and
colourants in the textile, food and beverage, and automotive industries. As a
result, demand for colourant reagents is likely to rise.

North
America dominated the global mesitylene market in 2017, according to a global
industry analysis. The presence of chemical industries such as The DOW Chemical The company, ExxonMobil, and PPG Industries in the region is credited with this
expansion. Throughout the forecast period, the region's market is expected to
remain dominant..
