Atomfair Methane CH4

Description Methane (CAS 3109-63-5) is the simplest hydrocarbon, consisting of one carbon atom bonded to four hydrogen atoms (CH4). This colorless, odorless, and highly flammable gas is the primary component of natural gas and a critical feedstock in industrial chemistry. With a molecular weight of 16.04 g/mol, methane is lighter than air and exhibits a boiling point of -161.5??C (-258.7??F) at standard pressure. It is widely utilized in energy production, chemical synthesis, and laboratory research. Our high-purity methane (??99.9%) is available in compressed gas cylinders, ensuring reliability for analytical, calibration, and reaction applications. Suitable for GC, FTIR, and other spectroscopic…
