Serving Areas:
Methanol (Methyl Alcohol) from Alkemist KSA is a fundamental industrial chemical known for its purity and versatility. As a leading seller and dealer, we provide high-grade methanol that serves as a crucial solvent, fuel component, and chemical feedstock for various industries across our service regions.
DANGER: TOXIC & HIGHLY FLAMMABLE. Methanol is toxic if swallowed, inhaled, or in contact with skin, and can cause irreversible damage to organs, particularly the optic nerve. It is extremely flammable. Handle only in well-ventilated areas, away from ignition sources, with appropriate PPE. Request the MSDS for full safety details.
No, they are very different and should never be confused. Methanol (CH₃OH) is highly toxic and dangerous if consumed. Ethanol (C₂H₅OH) is less toxic but our product is industrial grade and not for consumption.
Its simple chemical structure (one carbon atom) makes it an efficient and versatile building block for synthesizing more complex chemicals like formaldehyde, acetic acid, and olefins, which are fundamental to the chemical industry.
In wastewater treatment plants, methanol serves as a carbon source for denitrifying bacteria. These bacteria consume nitrates and convert them into harmless nitrogen gas, helping to purify the water before it is discharged.
The primary risks are its high flammability and its toxicity. It can be absorbed through the skin, inhaled, or ingested, causing severe health effects including blindness and death. Strict safety protocols are essential.
Our industrial-grade Methanol has a minimum purity of 99.85%, ensuring it meets the stringent requirements for its various applications as a solvent and chemical feedstock.
