Methane Sulfonic Acid (MSA) CH3SO3H Methane Sulfonic Acid 70% in Electrochemical Applications: Replacement for fluoboric acid and fluoborates in tin/lead plating Wire and steel strip tin plating Metal finishing of silver, copper, nickel and palladium Immersion and spray stripping Lead recovery from scrap batteries Electrolytic stripping Electropolishing Regenerating ion exchange resins Methane Sulfonic Acid 70% is an excellent catalyst for esterification, alkylation and condensation reactions. Methane Sulfonic Acid yields purer and lower color esters than both sulfuric and para-toluene sulfonic acids. Unlike titanate catalysts, Methane Sulfonic Acid can be used at low temperatures. Key Benefits of Methane Sulfonic Acid in Esterifcation: Low molecular weight Pure and non-oxidizing Limited by-products High thermal stability A clear rag layer Recyclable Biodegradable Easily handled Less corrosive than H2SO4 Methane Sulfonic Acid is the catalyst of choice for: acetates, acrylates, phthalates, fatty acid esters and thioglycolates. Anhydrous Methane Sulfonic Acid Anhydrous Methane Sulfonic Acid is particularly well suited for pharmaceutical applications and as a catalyst for aromatic alkylation.
