Methyl Alcohol

Methyl Alcohol, also known as wood alcohol, has the chemical formula CH₃OH (CH₄O) and is the simplest saturated monohydric alcohol. The product is a colorless, transparent, highly volatile liquid with a slight alcoholic odor. Key parameters are as follows:

- CAS No.: 67-56-1

- Purity: ≥99.8%

- Moisture: ≤0.05%

- Boiling Point: 64.7℃

- Density: 0.791 g/cm³ (20℃)

- Packaging: 160kg galvanized iron drum, 1000kg IBC (customization available)

As a basic organic chemical raw material, Methyl Alcohol is produced from high-quality raw materials such as syngas, natural gas, and coal through mature synthesis and closed-loop purification processes. Strict quality control throughout the process ensures excellent batch stability and meets international industrial standards.

Structure

Core Performance Advantages

1. Excellent Physicochemical Properties

- High Solubility: Completely miscible with water, and miscible with most organic solvents such as ethanol, ether, benzene, and acetone. It has strong solubility for both organic and inorganic substances.

- Low residual volatility: Boiling point 64.7℃, rapid evaporation, no residue after evaporation, suitable for coatings, inks, adhesives, etc.

- Chemical stability: Stable at room temperature, can undergo methylation and typical alcohol reactions, a key intermediate in organic synthesis.

- Low impurity content: Advanced purification technology strictly controls impurities and moisture, no visible impurities, low moisture content, strong batch consistency.

2. Safety and Compliance Instructions

Methyl Alcohol is toxic and flammable: Easily flammable when exposed to heat, open flame, or oxidizers; vapor can form explosive mixtures with air (explosion limits 6%–36.5%). Strictly adhere to safety regulations for storage and use; ensure proper ventilation and protection during operation.

Real-world Application Cases

Case 1: Solvent Upgrade for a European Paint Company

Pain Points: The original solvent evaporated slowly, leaving high residue, affecting paint film gloss and adhesion, and its supply was unstable.

Solution: Purchased high-purity Methyl Alcohol (≥99.8%) from Shandong Aolansu to replace the traditional mixed solvent.

Results:

- 30% faster evaporation, no residue, and 15% improved paint film gloss;

- Stronger batch stability, increasing production yield from 92% to 98%;

- Direct factory supply shortened delivery time to 7 days and reduced costs by 12%.

Case 2: Long-Term Methyl Alcohol Fuel Procurement for a Southeast Asian New Energy Company

Pain Points: Insufficient purity and high impurities in local fuels, affecting engine efficiency and lifespan, and price fluctuations were significant.

Solution: Signed an annual long-term contract with Shandong Aolansu to supply 99.9% pure methanol (IBC tonne packaging), along with complete documentation such as MSDS and COA.

Results:

- Engine failure rate reduced by 40%, power output stabilized, maintenance costs reduced by 25%;

- Year-round price lock-in, mitigating market volatility risks;

- Full compliance, smooth customs clearance, and stable delivery cycle.
