Common Applications
-
Biodiesel and fuel: Technical-grade methanol is used in transesterification for biodiesel and as a component of racing and model fuels.
-
Fuel cells and generators: Methanol serves as the energy carrier in direct-methanol fuel cells and portable power systems.
-
Solvent, extraction, and cleaning: Dissolves resins, dyes, and salts and is used for parts cleaning and gas-line antifreeze.
-
Laboratory and synthesis: ACS Reagent Grade supports HPLC, reagent work, and synthesis of formaldehyde, acetic acid, and other intermediates.
Grade & Selection Notes
Choose Technical Grade for biodiesel, fuel, and industrial solvent use where trace impurities are acceptable. Choose ACS Reagent Grade for HPLC, analytical, and synthesis work that requires tightly controlled purity and low water content.
Safety & Handling
Methanol is a highly flammable liquid that burns with a nearly invisible flame and is toxic by ingestion, inhalation, and skin absorption. Do not use for food, beverage, or potable applications. Use only with adequate ventilation, keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame, and wear chemical-resistant PPE. Review the Safety Data Sheets before use and follow your site-specific handling procedure.
