Nitro Methane
Not for SALE only for EDUCATIONAL Purpose
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
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.
