Methanol Shelf Life

1. Is there an expected shelf life of Methanol?

2. If there is a shelf life what is it of an un-opened container?

3. What would the shelf life be expected of an opened yet sealed container?

Thanks for any info provided

meth really doesn't go bad, it just evaporates. It will turn to C02 and H20 over time, but we're talking a very, very, very long time. But again, that's not really going bad, but just dissappearing.

It will absorb moisture out of the air. I don't know off hand where the equilibrium point is where it stops absorbing water and stops getting weaker, but as long as it's in a sealed container, you'll have no worries.

Yes,as long as it is a very good Sealed Metal Container you should be fine.BTW,I don't think that in a poorly sealed container the Meth "absorbs" water it more or less DRINKS it out of air .Just take a plastic milk container and fill it almost to the top,just about full and let it sit for a few days in a humid climate and you will notice the container starting to become Round.You then remove cap and it will pour out like you had way overfilled it from the start.Saying it will absorb water is an Understatement
