Known systematically as methanol, it features the chemical formula CH4O and a molecular weight of 32.042. As a critical reagent distributed by \u003ca href=\"\/products\/methanol-acs-reagent-grade\"\u003eAlliance Chemical\u003c\/a\u003e, this compound acts as a versatile solvent, chemical intermediate, and extraction agent across various manufacturing and scientific sectors. This high-purity product is designed to meet the rigorous specifications established by the American Chemical Society, ensuring consistent performance and chemical reliability in sensitive reactions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe physical properties of our methanol (CAS number 67-56-1) make it indispensable for demanding industrial workflows. It appears as a clear, colorless liquid with a faintly sweet, pungent odor that is highly characteristic of short-chain alcohols. Because it completely mixes with water, it serves as an excellent solvent for paints, varnishes, plastics, and resins. It is also used to remove water from automotive and aviation fuel lines, preventing ice formation and ensuring system integrity. Alliance Chemical delivers this product in various packaging configurations, ranging from individual quarts to bulk drums, to support diverse operational scales.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy This Grade\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eACS Reagent grade is the benchmark standard for analytical laboratories and precision industrial manufacturing where trace impurities can compromise results. Unlike technical or commercial grades, this material undergoes stringent purification and testing to limit impurities such as water, acetone, aldehydes, and heavy metals to negligible levels. In analytical chemistry, using a lesser grade can lead to background noise in chromatographic assays, erratic calibration curves, or outright failure of sensitive spectrophotometric analyses. Most lab-bench and analytical workflows in \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/industries\/laboratory\"\u003elaboratory environments\u003c\/a\u003e depend on those tolerances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf a system utilizes a grade with higher water content or trace organic contaminants, severe failure modes can occur. In chemical synthesis, unwanted side reactions can produce hazardous byproducts or significantly reduce yield, driving up operational costs. In solvent extraction processes, non-volatile residues left behind by lower-purity solvents can contaminate final product batches, leading to quality control rejections and expensive disposal protocols. Purchasing our ACS Reagent Grade Methanol guarantees compliance with strict specifications, protecting high-value equipment and maintaining process integrity throughout your operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"chemical-profile\" data-source=\"canonical\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChemical Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eCAS Number\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e67-56-1\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eChemical Formula\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eCH4O\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eMolecular Weight\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e32.042 g\/mol\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eBoiling Point\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e148.3 °F at 760 mmHg (NTP, 1992)\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eMelting Point\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e-144 °F (NTP, 1992)\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eFlash Point\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e52 °F (NTP, 1992)\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eSpecific Gravity\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e0.792 at 68 °F (USCG, 1999) - Less dense than water; will float\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eAppearance\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eMethanol appears as a colorless fairly volatile liquid with a faintly sweet pungent odor like that of ethyl alcohol.
