Methyl hydroxyacetate (CAS 96‑35‑5) is a high‑purity intermediate widely used in fragrance synthesis, polymer additives, and pharmaceutical intermediates. For corporate purchasing managers, the ability to source this compound at a predictable price, with guaranteed quality and rapid delivery, directly impacts your bottom line and product launch timelines.
Targeted for Purchasing Managers, Technical Directors, and Operations Leaders seeking a reliable, cost‑effective supply chain.
According to the 2025 Global Chemical Pricing Index, average price volatility for specialty esters like Methyl hydroxyacetate has risen +12 % YoY. Your budgeting team spends up to 15 hours/month renegotiating contracts, eroding ROI.
Batch‑to‑batch purity swings of 0.5 % can jeopardize downstream synthesis, leading to failed pilot runs and costly re‑work. Regulatory auditors frequently flag undocumented impurity profiles.
Traditional Asian suppliers quote 4‑6 weeks for Methyl hydroxyacetate in 25 kg drums. In a just‑in‑time (JIT) environment, this translates to average inventory holding costs of $3,200 per SKU.
US FDA, EU REACH, and China MPA have divergent classification rules for ester intermediates. Missing a required Certificate of Analysis (CoA) can halt customs clearance, adding average $5,800 per shipment in demurrage.

Fragrance Manufacturing – A leading US perfume house reduced its ester‑synthesis step time by 22 % after switching to our high‑purity Methyl hydroxyacetate, saving $45,000 per batch.
Polymer Additives – An automotive polymer supplier achieved a 15 % increase in tensile strength when using our OEM‑tailored ester blend, validated by ASTM D638 testing.
Pharmaceutical Intermediates – A biotech startup secured FDA IND approval faster by 3 months thanks to our fully documented batch records and GMP‑compliant CoA.
The standard MOQ is **25 kg** per batch. For strategic partners, we can arrange pilot‑scale shipments as low as **5 kg** with a fast‑track sample program.
Yes. Our R&D team can modify the hydroxy‑substituted side chain, produce isotopically labeled versions, or formulate blends up to **10 %** of other compatible esters.

We offer FOB Shanghai, CIF Los Angeles, and DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) to any US port. Air‑freight is available for urgent 5‑tonne shipments (48 h transit).
Each lot undergoes dual‑GC/FID and NMR analysis. Results are signed off by a certified Quality Assurance Manager and uploaded to a secure portal for real‑time client access.
Every delivery includes a full CoA, MSDS, REACH SVHC declaration, and, where requested, an FDA GRAS or EU CE certification letter.
Our technical service team is available 24 / 7 via email, WhatsApp, or dedicated phone line. We provide formulation advice, troubleshooting, and documentation updates for the product’s lifecycle.
Absolutely. Register through the form below, and we will ship a **10 g** analytical grade sample within 48 hours, free of charge.
Limited‑time Offer: Place a bulk order within the next 7 days and receive a 15 % discount on the first shipment, plus free air‑freight to any US port.
We stand behind every kilogram with a money‑back guarantee if purity falls below the specified 99.8 %.

Mark T., Senior Buyer – BioChem Solutions
“The sample arrived in 24 h, and the purity matched the CoA perfectly. We placed a 2‑tonne order next week and received it in 12 days. Cost per kilogram dropped from $85 to $61 – a genuine ROI.”
Sara L., Operations Manager – GreenPoly Inc.
“Global Technology’s logistics team coordinated customs clearance with our freight forwarder, eliminating a potential $4,200 demurrage charge. The product’s stability data helped us extend shelf life by 6 months.”
David K., Technical Director – AromaWorks
“The OEM‑tailored ester met our proprietary fragrance profile on the first trial – no re‑run needed. Our time‑to‑market was cut by 3 weeks, translating to an estimated $120,000 early‑revenue boost.”
Emily R., Procurement Lead – PharmaGen
“Their compliance package (CoA, FDA‑GRAS, REACH) satisfied our internal audit without extra paperwork. The 30 % volume discount made the project financially viable.”
