Product Description
Sodium Methoxide (Sodium Methylate) Solid 99% / Solution 30% | Biodiesel Catalyst | CAS 124-41-4
Sodium Methoxide, also widely known commercially as Sodium Methylate, is a versatile chemical compound with the formula CH3ONa. It serves as a potent catalyst and a strong base in organic chemistry. At Shandong Yinglang Chemical Co., Ltd., we are a leading supplier of both Solid Sodium Methoxide (Powder) and Sodium Methoxide Solution (in Methanol). Our product is manufactured to meet rigorous industrial standards, making it the preferred choice for Biodiesel production and pharmaceutical synthesis globally.
Why Choose Our Sodium Methylate?
- ersatile Forms: We supply Sodium Methoxide 30% Solution (ready-to-use liquid) and Sodium Methoxide 99% Solid (anhydrous powder) to fit different reactor types.
- High Catalytic Activity: As a premium Alkoxide, our product ensures high yields in Transesterification reactions, essential for converting vegetable oils into high-quality FAME (Biodiesel).
- Strict Moisture Control: We guarantee low water content to prevent side reactions like saponification, ensuring the efficiency of your Biodiesel Catalyst.
Key Applications
- Biodiesel Industry (The #1 Catalyst): Sodium Methoxide is the industry-standard Biodiesel Catalyst. It accelerates the transesterification process of fats and oils, offering faster reaction times and higher conversion rates compared to Sodium Hydroxide.
- Pharmaceutical Intermediates: It acts as a critical condensing agent and methylating agent in the synthesis of Vitamins (A1, B1), Sulfadoxine, Sulfadiazine, and other APIs.
- Organic Synthesis & Agro-chemicals: Used in the production of edible oil catalysts and agrochemicals via acylation and alkylation.
