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.
