Methanol also known as Methyl Alcohol, Wood Alcohol, and Wood spirit is a high-purity (99.9%) solvent renowned for its versatility and efficiency in various scientific, industrial, and commercial applications. Its clear, colorless liquid form and slight alcohol odor make it an essential solvent for numerous processes, from chemical synthesis to laboratory use.

Uses:

Methanol is used to remove and extract terpenes, tannins, alkaloids, glycosides, lignans, terpinoids from plants. It is used to extract bio-active, phenolic and polar compounds from medicinal plants. Methanol is easily evaporated. Methanol is a high purity solvent. Methanol is used to manufacture herbal solutions. Methanol is used in research and testing laboratories for phytochemical study, phytochemical analysis and chemical synthesis. Methanol is used to prepare methanol/water/acetic acid mixtures.

Methanol is a popular chemical precursor to other commodity chemicals and methylamines, converted into chemicals such as formaldehyde or acetic acid. It is used a gasoline additive in biodiesel, as well as in water methanol injections in high performance engines. Methanol often the key ingredient in denatured ethanol solutions, as its toxicity makes it dangerously inedible by humans. Methanol is also a component in antifreeze solutions given its low freezing point, and is a chemical additive in the destructive distillation of wood.

Key Features:

  • High Purity: 99.9% pure methanol guarantees reliable and consistent results.
  • Low Odor: Mild alcohol odor for easier handling.
  • Effective Solvent: Exceptional solvent properties for polar and non-polar compounds.
  • Versatile Applications: Suitable for a wide range of laboratory and industrial uses.
  • Fast Evaporation: Quick evaporation rate aids in efficient processing and drying.

Applications:

  • Laboratory: Ideal for chromatography, spectroscopy, and other analytical methods.
  • Industrial: Used in the production of formaldehyde, acetic acid, and as a feedstock for various chemicals.
  • Extraction: Effective in extracting essential oils and other compounds.
  • Cleaning: Widely used as a cleaning agent for equipment and surfaces.

Safety and Handling:

  • Storage: Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and open flames.
  • Handling: Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid inhalation and direct contact with skin and eyes.
  • Personal Protection: Wear appropriate protective clothing, gloves, and eye/face protection.
  • First Aid: In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water. Seek medical attention if necessary.
