Methanol is widely consumed across industrial manufacturing and chemical processing, but not every process necessarily requires virgin material.
For applications where specifications permit, reclaimed methanol can provide manufacturers with another bulk solvent and chemical feedstock sourcing option.
Rock Chemicals supplies Reclaimed Methanol specified at a minimum purity of 99.0% by weight.
What Is Reclaimed Methanol?
Reclaimed methanol is recovered material that has been reprocessed for reuse in suitable industrial applications.
Rock Chemicals' Reclaimed Methanol is specified at:
Methanol: Minimum 99.0% by weight
Water: Maximum 0.1% by weight
The supplied specifications should always be compared with the technical requirements of the intended process.
What Is Reclaimed Methanol Used For?
Potential industrial applications include:
-
Chemical processing
-
Industrial cleaning formulations
-
Coatings
-
Inks
-
Fuel-related applications
-
Downstream chemical manufacturing
-
Solvent applications
Suitability depends on the requirements of the specific process.
Who Buys Methanol in Bulk?
Potential buyers include chemical manufacturers, formulators, coatings manufacturers, industrial cleaning companies, chemical processors, and other manufacturing facilities that consume methanol as a solvent or feedstock.
High-volume buyers typically need more than spot pricing.
They may also need predictable availability, transportation, documentation, and recurring supply.
Why Consider Reclaimed Methanol?
Reclaimed methanol can offer another sourcing option for industrial applications that can accept remanufactured material.
Potential purchasing considerations include:
-
Additional supply flexibility
-
Solvent reuse
-
Procurement economics
-
Availability
-
Reduced reliance on a single material source
Technical suitability should always come first.
What Should You Include in a Methanol RFQ?
Provide:
-
Required purity/specification
-
Quantity
-
Delivery location
-
Required date
-
Order frequency
-
Expected annual usage
-
Intended industrial application
This gives the supplier enough information to evaluate the commercial requirement more accurately.
Evaluate Total Delivered Cost
Procurement teams should compare more than the quoted material price.
Consider:
-
Freight
-
Lead time
-
Availability
-
Packaging
-
Inventory requirements
-
Supplier reliability
For recurring industrial demand, supply continuity can be just as important as price.
Consider an Additional Methanol Source
Companies already purchasing methanol may also evaluate reclaimed material as an additional source where specifications allow.
Qualifying an alternative source before a supply problem occurs can provide procurement teams with greater flexibility.
