Methanol (CH₃OH), also known as methyl alcohol or wood alcohol, is the simplest alcohol — a clear, colorless, volatile liquid with a characteristic pungent odor. It is one of the most widely produced industrial chemicals globally, serving as a building block for dozens of downstream products including formaldehyde, acetic acid, and methyl methacrylate (MMA).
Moon Bright Resources supplies high-purity methanol with 99.85% minimum purity, manufactured under strict quality controls with low water content (≤0.1%) and low impurity levels. Our product meets industrial and technical grade standards, making it suitable for chemical synthesis, solvent applications, fuel blending, and laboratory use. We offer flexible packaging from 200 kg drums to bulk tanker deliveries, with full documentation including Certificate of Analysis and Safety Data Sheets. methanol bulk tanker supplier

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the difference between methanol and ethanol?
A1: Methanol (CH₃OH) is the simplest alcohol, highly toxic even in small quantities (ingestion of 10-30 mL can cause blindness or death), and is primarily used as an industrial chemical, solvent, and fuel feedstock. Ethanol (C₂H₅OH) is the alcohol found in alcoholic beverages, less toxic, and widely used in beverages, hand sanitizers, and as a fuel additive. Ethanol is often denatured with methanol to make it unfit for consumption. Do not confuse them — methanol is NOT safe for drinking or topical application on skin. methanol 99.9% supplier
Q2: How should methanol be stored and handled safely?
A2: Methanol is highly flammable and moderately toxic. Store in original tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, heat sources, sparks, and open flames. Use explosion-proof electrical equipment. Keep away from strong oxidizers and acids. Store away from living and working areas. Use appropriate PPE including chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile), safety goggles, and protective clothing. Use in well-ventilated areas or under fume hood to avoid inhalation of vapors. We provide Safety Data Sheets (SDS) with every shipment. methanol CIF supplier
Q3: Do you offer OEM / private label packaging?
A3: Yes, Moon Bright Resources provides full OEM services for methanol. We can package under your brand name with custom-printed containers (20 L to 1000 L), custom purity specifications (industrial, premium, or USP grade), and carbon source grade for wastewater denitrification with low heavy metals and nutrient content. Minimum OEM order quantity is 10 metric tons. We also offer custom labeling with multilingual safety warnings, tamper-evident seals, and UN-approved packaging for transport. methanol prices
Q4: What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A4: MOQ is 20 L (one jerry can) for sample orders, 200 L (one drum) for small commercial orders, and 10 metric tons for wholesale pricing. Bulk orders of 20 metric tons or more (full tanker or container) qualify for discounted rates. For OEM private label orders, MOQ is 10 metric tons. Premium grade (99.95%) and USP grade require a minimum of 5 metric tons. Full tanker load is typically 15-25 metric tons. bulk methanol global supplier
Q5: Why is methanol used for denitrification in wastewater treatment?
A5: Methanol is the most common and cost-effective external carbon source for biological denitrification. It is highly soluble, consistent in quality, and easily metabolized by denitrifying bacteria to convert nitrates (NO₃⁻) into harmless nitrogen gas (N₂). Compared to ethanol and glycerol, methanol offers lower cost per pound of nitrate removed, produces less excess sludge, and is less prone to biological oxygen demand (BOD) breakthrough. It is widely used in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants requiring nitrogen removal. methanol raw material supplier
