Methanol (Low Water), Fisher Chemical

Description

This Fisher Chemical product is a low-water grade of methanol, specifically formulated to contain minimal moisture. It is supplied in a 4-liter amber glass bottle within an EcoSafPak container, which provides protection from light and potential breakage. Methanol (CH3OH) is hygroscopic, meaning it readily absorbs water from the atmosphere; a low-water specification is crucial for applications sensitive to trace water content, such as certain chemical reactions, Karl Fischer titrations, or as a solvent for moisture-sensitive reagents. The amber glass helps protect the contents from light degradation. The chemical's formula weight is 32.04, and its CAS number is 67-56-1.
