Product Characteristics and Use Considerations
Methanol is an industrial solvent / organic chemical with a boiling point of Approx. 64.7°C and is completely miscible with water. The relatively low boiling point makes vapor control, closed handling and ventilation important during storage and use.
Industrial Applications
- Chemical synthesis and production of methanol derivatives.
- Industrial solvent and formulation applications.
- Fuel, energy and process applications using a confirmed suitable grade.
- Cleaning, extraction and manufacturing processes with controlled handling.
How to Select the Right Grade
Confirm purity, water, ethanol, acidity, non-volatile residue, packaging and application. Methanol is highly flammable and toxic by ingestion, inhalation and skin exposure; storage and transfer must follow the applicable SDS, grounding, ventilation and fire-control requirements.
Packaging, Storage and Documents
Typical packaging is Drums / IBC / ISO tanks, subject to grade, quantity, dangerous-goods transport and destination requirements. Use sealed, compatible packaging and follow the applicable SDS, label, occupational exposure, ventilation, fire and environmental controls. TDS, MSDS/SDS and COA can be coordinated according to the confirmed grade, order and batch conditions.
Methanol Purity, Water and Bulk Delivery
For industrial methanol, 99.9% headline purity should be reviewed with water, ethanol, acetone, acidity, color and distillation range. The relevant limits depend on whether methanol is used as a solvent, reaction feedstock or process fuel.
Key Purchasing Parameters
- State minimum methanol purity and maximum water content.
- Set ethanol, acetone, acidity, color and non-volatile residue limits where relevant.
- Confirm drum, IBC or ISO-tank supply and compatible receiving equipment.
- Account for flammability, ventilation, grounding and destination transport requirements.

Information to Include in an Inquiry
Send the end use, full specification, monthly volume, packaging or bulk preference, destination port and required documents. Storage and transfer must follow the current SDS and local controls.
