Methanol

Methanol (CH3OH) is a clear, colorless, volatile liquid widely used as a chemical feedstock, solvent, and fuel. It offers high solvency, low viscosity, and excellent miscibility with water and many organic solvents. Methanol is a primary raw material for the production of formaldehyde, acetic acid, methyl tert‑butyl ether (MTBE), and various methylation reactions in chemical synthesis. It is also employed as a fuel blend component, biodiesel feedstock, antifreeze, and in windshield washer fluids.

Available in multiple grades—including industrial, anhydrous (dry), and technical grades—methanol can meet diverse process and regulatory requirements. It is compatible with common construction materials in appropriate concentrations but is highly flammable and toxic; thus, storage and handling must follow strict safety protocols. Typical packaging options include drums, IBCs, and bulk tanker shipments. For detailed quality specifications, handling guidance, and safety information, refer to the product Certificate of Analysis (COA) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
