Solvents & Petrochemicals

• Methanol is widely used in the production of acetic acid and formaldehyde.
• In order to discourage the recreational consumption of ethanol, methanol is often added to it as a denaturant.
• This compound is also used as an antifreeze (an additive that is used to lower the freezing point of a liquid) in many pipelines.
• It is also used in sewage treatment plants since it serves as a carbon-based food source for denitrifying bacteria.
• The polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) technique involves the use of methanol as a destaining agent

• Methanol is highly flammable and toxic.
• Direct ingestion of more than 10mL can cause permanent blindness by destruction of the optic nerve, poisoning of the central nervous system, coma and possibly death. 
• These hazards are also true if methanol vapors are inhaled.
• When handling methanol, including biofuels, it is best to avoid direct exposure as much as possible. As such, it is imperative that safety gear be worn, especially those that cover the face, eyes and skin. If working where methanol vapors are present, proper ventilation is imperative for safety.
• If a methanol spill occurs, stop or reduce the discharge of the methanol (if it can be done without risk) and immediately call your local fire department.
• Try to isolate the spill/leak area in at least 330 to 660 feet in all directions. 
• Remove and eliminate all sources of potential ignition and stay upwind. 
• Do not touch or walk through any spillage and prevent the spilled methanol from entering into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas.

Owing to our rich experience and knowledge of this domain, we are engaged in supplying and trading the best quality ofIsopropyl Alcohol(IPA).Its compositional accuracy, optimum purity and enhanced shelf life, make this isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) highly appreciated. With the aid of our wide distribution network, we ensure timely delivery of the offered Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA).

The chemical is the result of a combination of water and propylene. There are two processes for achieving this

• Indirect hydration via the sulfuric acid process
• Direct hydration.

The chemical is cheaply available, dries quickly and relatively non toxic. It is also used as a solvent in cleaning liquid. It is also used by many music shops to give second-hand or worn records newer looking sheens. It cleans white boards very well and other unwanted ink related marks.It is a colorless, flammable chemical compound with a strong odor. It is the simplest example of asecondary alcohol, where the alcohol carbon atom is attached to two other carbon atoms sometimes shown as (CH₃)₂CHOH. It is a structural isomer of propanol. Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is denatured for certain uses.
