Product Description

Nitromethane is a low-molecular-weight nitroalkane and a polar organic solvent. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic odor and a boiling point of approximately 101°C. It is used primarily as a specialty solvent and chemical intermediate in controlled industrial and laboratory applications.

Nitromethane has a molecular weight of approximately 61.04 g/mol and is denser than water, with a density around 1.14 g/cm³ at 20°C.

Nitromethane is a colorless, oily liquid with a mild disagreeable or fruity odor. It is used as a propellant, fuel additive, rocket fuel, and solvent etc

Application

Key Applications

Nitromethane is used in selected industrial and chemical applications, including:

Specialty solvent applications
Organic chemical synthesis
Chemical intermediate applications
Laboratory and analytical applications
Solvent for selected polymers, waxes and adhesive systems
Certain specialized fuel applications under controlled conditions

Its use should always be based on the applicable grade, regulatory requirements and the manufacturer's current SDS/TDS.

Important Safety Note

Nitromethane is not an ordinary solvent for uncontrolled handling or general-purpose cleaning. Its relatively low flash point and energetic decomposition characteristics require appropriate hazardous-material storage, transportation and regulatory controls.

For commercial supply, the grade, purity, packaging, transport classification and local regulatory requirements should be verified before quotation or shipment.

Storage & Handling

Nitromethane requires careful handling because it is flammable and can undergo hazardous decomposition under severe heating or contamination. It should be stored in an appropriate, compatible container in a cool, well-ventilated area away from ignition sources and incompatible materials.

Avoid contamination and unnecessary heating. Suitable chemical-resistant PPE, ventilation and appropriate fire-safety controls should be used according to the current SDS.

Nitromethane can become more hazardous when contaminated with certain acids, bases, amines, oxidizing/reducing materials or other incompatible substances.
