Methanol Supplier
UAE

Methanol is used primarily as a feedstock for formaldehyde and acetic acid production; as a key reagent in biodiesel transesterification; as a solvent in paints, inks and adhesives; as a fuel and fuel-blending component; as an antifreeze and de-icing fluid ingredient; and as a feedstock for MTBE and DME production. Its versatility makes it one of the highest-volume industrial chemicals consumed across the UAE and GCC.

The CAS number for Methanol (methyl alcohol, CH₃OH) is 67-56-1. The UN transport number is UN 1230, classified as a Flammable Liquid with a subsidiary Toxic hazard.

No. Methanol (CH₃OH) and ethanol (C₂H₅OH) are both simple alcohols but are chemically distinct. Methanol is significantly more toxic than ethanol — even small quantities can cause blindness or death if ingested — and is used almost exclusively as an industrial chemical and fuel component rather than in beverages. Methanol and ethanol must never be confused in handling or storage.

Chelora Chemicals UAE is a dedicated Methanol supplier serving all seven UAE emirates. We stock industrial and AA/IMPCA reference-grade methanol in drums, IBCs, flexitanks and bulk tanker, serving the resin, biodiesel, coatings, oil & gas and fine chemical industries across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain.

Yes. Chelora Chemicals UAE delivers Methanol to all seven UAE emirates — Dubai (including Jebel Ali FZ, Al Quoz and DIP), Abu Dhabi (Musaffah, ICAD, KIZAD), Sharjah (SAIF Zone, Hamriyah FZ), Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain — as well as to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and other GCC countries.

We supply industrial-grade methanol (minimum 99.5 wt% purity) for general solvent, fuel-blending and process applications, and AA/IMPCA reference-grade methanol (99.85 wt% minimum purity, tight water and acidity specifications) for formaldehyde production and other purity-sensitive chemical processes. Contact our technical team to match the correct grade to your application.

Yes. Methanol is a highly flammable liquid with a low flash point (11–12 °C) and is acutely toxic — ingestion, inhalation or skin absorption of significant quantities can cause blindness, organ damage or death through its toxic metabolite, formaldehyde, and subsequently formic acid. It must be stored and handled with appropriate PPE, ventilation and away from ignition sources. Always consult the batch-specific Safety Data Sheet (SDS) provided with every shipment.

Chelora Chemicals UAE supplies Methanol in 200 L UN-approved steel drums (standard for smaller buyers), 1,000 L IBC totes (mid-volume handling), flexitanks and ISO tank containers (bulk ocean transport) and bulk road tanker delivery for large-volume UAE-based processors. All packaging is correctly labelled under UN 1230 and supplied with CoA and SDS.

Yes. Chelora Chemicals UAE regularly exports Methanol to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and wider markets across Asia, Africa and Europe, leveraging our proximity to Jebel Ali Port. We handle all export logistics including freight forwarding, customs documentation, certificate of origin (COO), dangerous goods declarations and safety data sheets in Arabic and English.
