Where do you buy methyl hydrate?

Answer 1

Methyl Hydrate should be stored in a Plastic Bottle.

Methyl Hydrate should not be stored in an Aluminum Container or Bottle as the Meths will corrode the Aluminum.

Meths (Methyl Hydrate) should not be stored in an metal container. This is due to the reactive nature of this form of Alcohol.

Meths should also not come into contact with Rubbers for Extended Periods of Time (for this definition I shall term Extended as 6 Months or More). Meths have been shown to degrade Rubber over repeated, and extended, exposure. Thus use of Rubber O-Rings, or Gaskets, or Seal Membranes, is also NOT RECOMMENDED.

There are currently no 'container lacquers' to protect against the corrosive and reactive nature of Meths on Aluminum, or other metals.

Hope this helps.

(Side Note: If you have stored Methyl Hydrate in an Aluminum, or other metal container, immediately check for a "Gel like residue" and/or "Pitting inside the container", these are both primary indication that a reaction has started, and you should immediately dispose of the Methyl Hydrate to ensure no impurities have been dissolved in the liquid. If pitting is noticed and MINIMAL then IMMEDIATELY transfer the Liquid to a Plastic Pop Bottle, or another Plastic Container like a Margarine Tub, to hold the liquid until you can purchase a Storage Bottle (one without A Rubber O-Ring or Seal).)

Have a Great Day!
