Hello everybody, [snip] ... ... ... Can someone tell me what MT means? English is not my mothertongue :) I only know that MT means MegaTon and it is used to say how strong explosives are, but I don't think that's what they mean ;-) Metric Ton - I suppose it's a way of descibing to Yanks

Hi, Na-methylate is the same as sodium methoxide. The difference between what they are selling you and what you can make yourself with NaOH and MeOH is the amount of water from the reaction plus the amount of water in the NaOH as received, typically around 15% as Bob stated. Na OH + MeOH - H2O

Hello everybody, I was wondering if somebody already did some tests with Na methylate? In the document on http://www.asa-europe.org/pdf/ta_biodiesel.pdf (bottom of page 5) you can find the advantages of using it. Today I got an email from a chemical company and, here in Belgium, I can get a
