Sodium methylate is a white amorphous powder. It reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide, a corrosive material, and methyl alcohol, a flammable liquid. The heat from this reaction may be sufficient to ignite surrounding combustible material or the sodium methylate itself if the water is present in only small amounts. It is used to process edible fats and oils, and to make other chemicals.

  • Used in organic synthesis, as alkaline catalyst (making biodiesel grade methyl esters and for treatment of edible fats and oils), in condensation reactions, as analytical reagent, and as intermediate for pharmaceuticals; [HSDB]
  • Alkaline catalyst used in the production of biodiesel grade methyl esters.
  • In organic synthesis
  • Condensation reactions, catalyst for treatment of edible fats and oils, especially lard, intermediate for pharmaceuticals, preparation of sodium cellulosate, analytical reagent.
