NaOCH₃ in CH₃OH
A solution of sodium methylate, a strong base commonly used in organic synthesis and as a catalyst in transesterification reactions.
Typical Applications
Strong organic base, especially well suited for water-free organic syntheses for various reaction types (like transesterification, deprotonation, ring-opening polymerization, anionic polymerization, depolymerization of polyesters etc.); Main applications are productions of Biodiesel, PVOH/EVOH polymers and pigments as well as agro and pharma syntheses. Ready to use solution in methanol
Benefits at a glance
NM30 is mainly used in the transesterification reaction of oils to biodiesel but can also be used in other agro syntheis and as a catalyst for depolymeriation of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), ready-to-use solution, water-free strong base
