Sodium methoxide in powder form is mainly used in pharmaceutical industry, such as the manufacture of Vitamin A1, Vitamin BI, Sulfamethoxypyridazine, Sulfadiazine, trimethoprim and so on. It can be used as catalyst in Biodiesel Industry. It also can be applied as edible catayst and analytical reagent.

Specification:

Appearance	White Powder
Content (Total alkali)	≥99.0%
Sodium methoxide (NaOCH3)	≥97.0%
Free Alkali	≤1.5%
Sodium Carbonate (Na2CO3)	≤0.3%
Moisture (H2O)	≤0.65%

Usage:

Mainly used in pharmacy, such as preparation of Vitamin A1, Vitamin B1, Sulfadoxine, Trimethoprim(TMP), etc. A small quantity of Sodium methylate is used in producing pesticides. It can be also used for processing edible fat and edible catalyst and can be used as analyzed reagent either.

Cardboard or Plastic Bucket of 25kg net each, Zinc Plated bucket of 100kg net each

Store in cool and dry warehouse; Keep away from flame and heat; Separate from oxidant and acid during storage and transportation; Handle with care, and maintain the integrity of the packaging

SODIUM METHOXIDE (LIQUID)

Property:

 

Density:	0.945	Melting Point:	127 ºC
Flash Point:	11 ºC	Water Solubility:	reacts

Colorless or flaxen viscous liquid,it is susceptive to oxygen,flammable,easily absorptive and has strong basicity. Sodium Methylate acts corrosively to skin, and it is also soluble in ethanol, glycerol etc. In the presence of water , it will decompose to methanol and sodium hydroxide . Methanol is toxic and has strong thrill for human being"s breath system .

Specification:

Appearance	Colorless to slightly yellowish, viscous liquid.
Content (Total alkali)	29.5 -- 31.0 %
Sodium methoxide (NaOCH3)	28.9 -- 31.0 %
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH)	≤ 0.5 %
Sodium Carbonate (Na2CO3)	≤ 0.1 %
Moisture (H2O)	≤ 0.2 %
Methanol	69.0 -- 70.9 %

Usage:

It can be usely as catalyst in the production of biodiesel, or pharmaceutical intermediates to produce Vitamin A1, VItamin B1, Sulfamethoxypyridazine, Sulfadiazine, Trimethoprim etc.

Package and Storage:

Must be careful because Sodium Methylate is flammable and toxic. It must be indicated Flammable, Toxic outside of the packaging drum. The packaging drums must be airproof. Net weight of per drum of Sodium methylate is 200kg in a plastic drum; It must be hard, clean, dry and leakless.

Keep cool, dry and ventilated, keep away from fire, avoid the irradiation of daylight. Workers must wrap on protect mask in order to avoid corrotion from Sodium methylate or harm of methanol during handling it.
