FAQ

Q1: What is the purity grade of your sodium methoxide powder? A: Our industrial‑grade sodium methoxide powder reaches ≥98% purity, CAS 124‑41‑4. Low residual methanol and impurities. Batch‑to‑batch test report (COA) will be provided for every shipment.

Q2: Can you provide samples for testing? What is the sample lead‑time? A: Yes, sample service is available. Small test samples can be arranged. Since sodium methoxide powder belongs to dangerous goods, express shipment needs special dangerous‑goods logistics arrangement. Please contact our sales team for sample cost and freight quotation.

Q3: What is the UN transport number and hazard classification for sodium methoxide powder? A: UN 1431, Hazard Class 4.2 (spontaneously combustible substance), subsidiary risk Class 8 corrosive, Packing Group IIInternatio.... We follow full IMDG shipping standard for sea transportation.

Q4: What kind of packing do you supply? A: Standard packing: sealed steel drums with nitrogen‑sealed inner protection to avoid moisture absorption. Custom‑made packing specifications are acceptable upon buyer’s requirement.

Q5: What documents can you provide for export customs‑clearance? A: We can supply Commercial Invoice, Packing List, COA (Certificate of Analysis), SDS / MSDS, dangerous‑goods packing certificate and other required export documents.

Q6: What is your MOQ (minimum order quantity)? A: Normally full 20ft FCL as standard order. For trial orders with smaller volume, please consult our sales for feasibility.

Q7: What storage conditions are required for sodium methoxide powder? A: This product is highly hygroscopic and reacts violently with water/moisture. Keep drums tightly sealed, store in dry, cool and well‑ventilated warehouse. Keep far away from water, humidity, acid and oxidizing agents. Avoid frequent opening of packages. Nitrogen‑blanket storage condition is recommended for long‑term stock.

Q8: What are the main typical applications of your sodium methoxide powder? A: Mainly used as strong‑base catalyst for biodiesel trans‑esterification reaction, pharmaceutical & pesticide intermediate synthesis, methylation & condensation reaction and other fine‑chemical manufacturing processes.

Q9: Can you accept third‑party inspection before shipment, such as SGS? A: Yes, third‑party inspection is acceptable. Inspection cost shall be borne by the buyer, and inspection schedule needs to be confirmed in advance.

Q10: What payment terms do you accept for sodium methoxide powder orders? A: For dangerous‑goods chemical cargo, we mainly accept T/T advance payment. Other payment methods can be further discussed.
