Methyl Formate as a Chemical Intermediate
Methyl formate is a reactive ester with a very low boiling point, used primarily as a feedstock for formamide, DMF, and formic acid via hydrolysis. In the foam and refrigeration industries it serves as a blowing agent alternative to HFCs. Its high flammability demands rigorous fire-safety controls throughout storage and handling.
Supply Information
Given its low boiling point, methyl formate is transported in pressure-rated vessels. Terracore coordinates specialized logistics for this product. Full SDS, COA, and TDG documentation is provided with every shipment.
Applications
- Dimethylformamide (DMF) precursor
- Formamide synthesis feedstock
- Foam-blowing agent
