Product Overview

Methanol – Technical Grade

Technical Grade Methanol, also known as methyl alcohol or wood alcohol, is a clear, highly flammable liquid widely recognized for its fast evaporation rate, high purity, and effectiveness as a solvent. With a simple chemical structure (CH₃OH), methanol is used across a broad spectrum of industries including chemical manufacturing, fuel processing, coatings, pharmaceuticals, and laboratory applications.

Applications:

Solvent Use:
Ideal for dissolving inks, adhesives, resins, dyes, and greases. Methanol is commonly used to clean precision instruments, electronics, and industrial surfaces.

Chemical Manufacturing:
Used as a base material in the production of formaldehyde, acetic acid, methyl esters, silicone compounds, and antifreeze formulations.

Fuel Applications:
A vital component in fuel blending and an alternative fuel source in racing, marine, and industrial engines. It also serves as a key input in biodiesel production and hydrogen fuel systems.

Pharmaceutical & Personal Care:
Supports synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, active ingredients, and cosmetic intermediates.

Paints, Coatings & Construction:
Acts as a thinner and carrier solvent in varnishes, lacquers, and spray finishes. It’s also useful for cleaning tools and equipment used in concrete and flooring applications.

Agriculture & Automotive:
Used in the production of pesticides, herbicides, windshield washer fluids, and fuel additives.

Laboratories & Scientific Research:
Employed as a reagent and cleaning agent in chromatography, titration, spectroscopy, and sample preparation procedures.

Chemical Characteristics:

  • Chemical Formula: CH₃OH

  • Molecular Weight: 32.04 g/mol

  • Appearance: Clear, water-white liquid

  • Odor: Mild alcohol odor

  • Boiling Point: 64.7°C (148.5°F)

  • Melting Point: -97.6°C (-143.7°F)

  • Flash Point: 11°C (52°F)

  • Specific Gravity @ 20°C: 0.791

  • Solubility: Miscible with water, alcohols, and most organic solvents

  • Vapor Pressure @ 20°C: ~96 mmHg

Safety First:

Methanol is toxic and should be handled with care. Use appropriate personal protective equipment including gloves, goggles, and lab coats when handling. Ensure proper ventilation to prevent harmful vapor accumulation. Keep away from heat sources, flames, or sparks, and store in approved flammable chemical containers.

Smart Storage Practices:

  • Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area

  • Keep containers tightly closed when not in use

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to heat, sunlight, or ignition sources

  • Ensure proper labeling and access to safety data sheets

Overall:

Methanol is a critical raw material with diverse applications across industrial, commercial, and scientific sectors. Its high solvency, volatility, and reactivity make it an essential product for manufacturers, labs, and fuel processors seeking reliable performance and consistent quality. Our Technical Grade Methanol meets demanding operational needs while adhering to rigorous purity standards.
