Methanol Supplier & Exporter — 99.85% Purity Grade AA Methanol
CH₃OH Methyl Alcohol · Purity 99.85% Min
Refined methanol at 99.85% minimum purity with water below 0.1%, acetone below 0.003% and a permanganate time above 50 minutes — the analysis set that formaldehyde, acetic acid and MTBE plants qualify against. Seventeen properties reported to ASTM methods on a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis, shipped in ISO tanks, drums or bulk parcel.

Values are the acceptance limits carried on the batch certificate. A 99.85% minimum purity with 0.1% maximum water is the Grade AA level; where your plant works to a different works standard, send it with the enquiry and we will confirm conformity before shipment.
Bespoke Supply
Working to your own methanol works standard?
If none of the grades above matches your target chemistry, fineness, or packaging, tell us your requirements — we produce custom grades to your exact specification.
Applications
Methanol is a building block before it is a fuel — roughly two thirds of world demand is chemical synthesis, the rest energy.
Formaldehyde
The single largest outlet — feedstock for resins and adhesives.
Acetic Acid
Carbonylation feedstock for acetates, PTA and vinyl acetate.
MTBE & Fuel Ethers
Octane-boosting gasoline blend components.
Biodiesel (FAME)
Transesterification of vegetable oils and animal fats.
Olefins (MTO / MTP)
Route to ethylene and propylene from methanol.
Solvents & Extraction
Process solvent in pharmaceuticals, paints and adhesives.
Gas Hydrate Inhibition
Injected in gas pipelines to suppress hydrate formation.
DME & Fuel Blending
Dimethyl ether production and direct fuel blending.
Wastewater Denitrification
Carbon source for biological nitrogen removal.
Packaging, Logistics & Trading Terms
How we load, certify and ship bulk methanol. Terms can be adapted by agreement — tell us what your operation needs.
- Minimum Order Quantity
- 1 × 20 ft ISO tank (approx. 20 MT). Larger parcels by bulk vessel. Drummed trial quantities available for qualification.
- Packaging
- ISO tank container, 200 L / 160 kg net steel drums, or bulk parcel. Drums are new, nitrogen-blanketed and sealed.
- Incoterms & Loading Ports
- EXW, FOB, CFR and CIF (Incoterms® 2020). Standard loading at Bandar Abbas and Bandar Imam Khomeini; other ports by arrangement.
- Quality Certification
- Batch-specific CoA with every shipment covering purity, water, acidity, permanganate time, acetone and non-volatile matter to ASTM methods. SGS / Bureau Veritas inspection at buyer’s cost.
- Lead Time
- 7–14 days for standard grades after order confirmation; 15–25 days when new drums or dedicated tank capacity have to be scheduled.
- Storage & Handling
- Store in a cool, well-ventilated, earthed and bonded area away from oxidisers and ignition sources. Methanol is a flammable liquid (UN 1230, Class 3) and is toxic by inhalation, ingestion and skin absorption. Its flame is nearly invisible in daylight. A Safety Data Sheet ships with every consignment.
Certificate of Analysis
A batch-specific CoA is issued with every shipment. Third-party inspection by SGS, Bureau Veritas or an inspector of your choice can be arranged at the buyer’s cost.
