What is Methanol? It is an organic chemical compound and the simplest aliphatic alcohol, with the chemical formula CH3OH (a methyl group linked to a hydroxyl group, often abbreviated as MeOH). It is a light, volatile, colourless and flammable liquid with a distinctive alcoholic odor similar to that of ethanol (potable alcohol), but is more acutely toxic than the latter.
Consistent Quality: We provide only high-quality Methanol 99.85%, meeting the standards of ACS, ensuring reliable and consistent performance for all applications.
Glass Winchester Bottle: Available in 500ml, 1L and 2.5L pack sizes. Our Glass Winchester bottles can store chemicals that may be sensitive to light due to filtering potentially harmful UV rays. Bottles are durable, versatile and perfect for storing products in the chemical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.
Chemical synthesis
Methanol is used as a precursor in the production of several other organic compounds. Methanol is primarily converted to formaldehyde, which is widely used in many areas, especially polymers; the conversion entails oxidation. Acetic acid can be produced from methanol. Methanol and isobutene are combined to give methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE). MTBE is a major octane booster in gasoline.
Denaturant
Utilised as a denaturant for ethanol, the product being known as denatured alcohol or methylated spirit. This was commonly used during the US prohibition to discourage consumption of bootlegged liquor.
Biochemistry
Employed as a destaining agent in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
Water treatment
In some wastewater treatment plants, a small amount of methanol is added to wastewater to provide a carbon food source for the denitrifying bacteria, which convert nitrates to nitrogen gas and reduce the nitrification of sensitive aquifers.
