Description
This is a 4-liter container of exceptionally pure (99.9%) methyl alcohol, also known as methanol. This product is a high-grade solvent, ideal for applications in:
- Organic synthesis
- Analytical chemistry
- Industrial processing
- Extraction of animal and vegetable oils
- Antifreeze formulations
Methanol is a colourless, volatile, and flammable liquid. It has a low boiling point (65°C) and a low flash point (10°C), making it essential to handle with care. It is fully miscible with water.
Quality and Purity:
This methanol has undergone rigorous purification, including:
- Microfiltration through 0.22 µm membranes
- Strict control of impurities, ensuring minimal levels of acetone, acetaldehyde, and formaldehyde.
- Low residue on evaporation.
These processes guarantee a product meeting stringent quality specifications.
Safety Precautions:
Methanol is a toxic and hazardous substance. It poses health risks through:
- Ingestion
- Inhalation
- Skin contact
It is classified as a flammable liquid (Class 3, UN 1230) under ADR, IMDG, and IATA/ICAO transport regulations. Therefore:
- Always handle, store, and dispose of methanol according to established safety guidelines.
- Use appropriate personal protective equipment.
- Ensure adequate ventilation.
