Methane Sulfonic Acid
SKU: RXSOL-28-7222-025
Category: Rust Clean & Protect-28
Methanesulfonic acid is a strong organic acid. The chemical oxidation of dimetyl sulfide in the atmosphere leads to the formation of MSA in large quantities. MSA undergoes biodegradation by forming CO2 and sulphate. It is considered a green acid as it is less toxic and corrosive in comparison to mineral acids.The aqueous MSA solution has been considered a model electrolyte for electrochemical processes.
Methanesulfonic acid is an alkanesulfonic acid in which the alkyl group directly linked to the sulfo functionality is methyl. It has a role as an Escherichia coli metabolite. It is an alkanesulfonic acid and a one-carbon compound. It is a conjugate acid of a methanesulfonateDescription:
