Methanol

Introduction

Methanol is an organic compound and the simplest saturated monohydric alcohol. It is light, highly volatile, colorless, flammable, and has an odor very similar to that of ethanol (drinking alcohol). However, unlike ethanol, methanol is highly toxic and not suitable for consumption.

Product Grades

Industrial Grade

● Premium Grade: Methanol volume fraction ≥99.90%, color scale ≤5 Pt-Co units, potassium permanganate test ≥50 min. Primarily used for high-end chemical synthesis and electronic cleaning.
● First Grade: Methanol volume fraction ≥99.90%, color scale ≤10 Pt-Co units, potassium permanganate test ≥30 min. Suitable for conventional chemical raw materials.
● Qualified Grade: Methanol volume fraction ≥99.80%, color scale ≤15 Pt-Co units, potassium permanganate test ≥20 min. Used for general fuels or low-end solven

Reagent Grade

● HPLC Grade (Chromatographically Pure): Low UV cutoff wavelength, no interfering absorption peaks, extremely low evaporation residue (<0.8 ppm), filtered through 0.2 μm membrane. Specifically used for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis.
● LC-MS Grade (Mass Spectrometry Grade / Optima): Highest purity, with metal ion content controlled at ppb to ppt levels, filtered through 0.1 μm membrane. Specifically used for mass spectrometry analysis and trace detection.
● Chromatography Grade: Supplied in bulk packaging, used for the separation and purification of target products.

Fuel Grade

● AF-95: Methanol content ≥95%, with the strictest safety requirements.
● AF-90: Methanol content ≥90%.
● AF-80: Methanol content ≥80%, must be a blue transparent liquid, with strict control over water content and ash residue.
