Methanol Description
Name: Methanol (MeOH)
Synonyms: methyl alcohol / wood spirit / Carbinol / Columbian spirits / Hydroxymethane / Methyl hydroxide / Wood alcohol / Wood naphtha / Methylol
Molecular Formula: CH4O
Molecular Weight: 32.042
CAS NO.: 67-56-1
Density: 0.8±0.1 g/cm3
Boiling point: 48.1±3.0 °C at 760 mmHg
Melting point: -98ºC
Flashing point: 11.1±0.0 °C
Purity: 99%
Appearance: Colorless transparent liquid with pungent odor.
Water Solubility: Soluble in water, miscible with alcohol, ether and other organic solvents.
Properties: Colorless clear liquid, its vapor can form explosive mixture with air; generates blue flame when burning; can be miscible with organic solvents such as water, ethanol, ether, benzene, ketones, etc. Can cause combustion and explosion when exposed to open flames and high heat; can react violently with oxidants; if exposed to high heat, the internal pressure of the container increases, there is a risk of cracking and explosion; there is no bright flame when burning; can accumulate static electricity and ignite its vapor.
Package: 200L/drum.
Storage: Storage precautions Store in a cool and well-ventilated special warehouse room, away from fire and heat sources. The storage temperature should not exceed 37℃, keep the container sealed. It should be stored separately from oxidizers, acids, alkali metals, etc., and should not be mixed. Explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities are adopted. Do not use mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to spark. The storage area should be equipped with leak emergency treatment equipment and suitable containment materials.
About Us: With over many years as a certified Methanol manufacturer, we combine innovation with stringent production standards to deliver high-performance product.

Wood spirit Applications
1. MeOH serves as a foundational building block in organic synthesis, critical for producing formaldehyde, acetic acid, chloromethane, methylamine, and dimethyl sulfate. Its applications extend to the creation of vital agrochemicals (insecticides, acaricides) and pharmaceuticals (sulfonamides, comycin). Furthermore, it is integral to synthesizing dimethyl terephthalate, methyl methacrylate, and methyl acrylate.
2. Beyond its role as a chemical feedstock, MeOH functions as a key solvent and fuel component. Since the 1980s, its utilization in manufacturing methyl tert-butyl ether (a gasoline octane booster), methanol-blended gasoline, pure methanol fuel, and methanol-derived proteins has substantially driven both methanol production and market consumption.
We offer competitive Methanol price, and exclusive discounts for large quantities, helping you effectively reduce procurement costs.
