Methanesulfonic Acid
Methanesulfonic acid (MSA), the simplest alkanesulfonic acid, is a hygroscopic colorless liquid or white solid, depending on whether the ambient temperature is greater or less than 20 ºC. It is very soluble in water and oxygenated solvents, but sparingly soluble in most hydrocarbons. In aqueous solution, it is a strong acid (completely ionized). The Methanesulfonic Acid industry can be broken down into several segments, Pharmaceutical Grade, Industrial Grade, etc. Across the world, the major players cover BASF, Arkema, etc.
