Nitro Methane
Nitromethane is a low-molecular-weight nitroalkane and a polar organic solvent.
Application & Uses
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
-

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.
