Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for methanol?
A: The CAS Registry Number for methanol is 67-56-1.
Q2: Can methanol be used as a direct substitute for ethanol in extraction processes?
A: Methanol offers higher polarity and solvation strength than ethanol for many polar compounds, but it is not approved for food or pharmaceutical extracts due to toxicity concerns; regulatory approval and residue validation are required prior to use.
Q3: Does methanol migrate from packaging into stored products, and how is this controlled?
A: Migration risk is low with compatible packaging (e.g., HDPE, stainless steel); however, permeation through certain polymers (e.g., LDPE, PVC) may occur over time—validated compatibility testing per ISO 10993-12 or USP <87>/<88> is recommended for regulated applications.
Q4: Is your methanol REACH registered and compliant with TSCA?
A: Yes—our methanol is fully REACH registered (EU ECHA No. 01-2119466123-38-0002) and listed on the U.S. TSCA Inventory (CAS 67-56-1).
