Liquid Methanol

Pioneers in the industry, we offer 500 ml Liquid HPLC Methanol, 1 litre Liquid HPLC Methanol and Liquid HPLC Methanol from India.

Liquid methanol, also known as methyl alcohol or wood alcohol, is a clear, colorless, flammable, and volatile liquid with a distinctive odor: 

  • Chemical formula: CH3OH 
  • Uses: Solvent, antifreeze, fuel additive, denaturant for ethyl alcohol, and raw material for many chemical derivatives 
  • Production: Industrially produced by hydrogenation of carbon monoxide 
  • Exposure: Can occur through ingestion, dermal absorption, or inhalation 
  • Toxicity: Consumption of methanol is toxic and can cause blindness 
  • Environmental impact: Can affect animals, birds, and fish, leading to their death 

Here are some other properties of methanol:

  • Miscible with many organic solvents and in any proportion with water 
  • Has a milder and sweeter odor than ethanol 
  • Has a flash point of 52°F, a lower explosive limit (LEL) of 6%, and an upper explosive limit (UEL) of 36.5% 
  • Has an autoignition temperature of 867°F, a melting point of -144°F, and a boiling point of 148.3°F at 760 mmHg 
  • Has a vapor density of 1.11, which is heavier than air and will sink 
  • Has a specific gravity of 0.792 at 68°F, which is less dense than water and will float
