The main purpose

1. Sodium methoxide has a wide range of uses, mainly used in the production of sulfa drugs. Sodium methoxide is also a catalyst for organic synthesis, used in pesticide production and oil processing industries.

2. Used as a basic condensing agent and catalyst in organic synthesis, used in the synthesis of spices, dyes, etc., as a raw material for vitamin B1, A and sulfadiazine.

3. Used as a raw material for medicines and pesticides, it is an important raw material for the synthesis of sulfaimidine, sulfamethoxazole, and sulfa synergist;

4. It is also used as a catalyst for processing edible fat and edible oil (especially for processing lard) to change the fat structure and make it suitable for margarine, etc., which must be removed in the final food.

5. It is also used as an analytical reagent and widely used in perfume, dye and other industries.
