Sodium Methylate 30% Drum

Sodium Methylate 30% is a solution of sodium methoxide (CH3ONa) in methanol,

Typically used as a strong base and nucleophile. In its 30% concentration form, it is stabilized in methanol for safer handling and application in large-scale chemical processes.

Main Applications:

Biodiesel industry: Serves as a transesterification catalyst in the conversion of vegetable oils or animal fats to biodiesel.

Pharmaceuticals: Functions as a reagent in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially where methylation or deprotonation is required.

Agrochemicals: Used in the synthesis of crop protection agents, especially for reactions needing a strong base in an anhydrous environment.

Chemical manufacturing: Acts as a base in organic synthesis reactions such as Claisen condensations, and as an initiator in polymerization processes.
