With sodium and potassium methoxide solutions from Evonik you don’t need to dissolve your catalysts. That’s because they are ready to use for biodiesel production. The water-free process yields fewer impurities and creates high-purity glycerol. Direct metering from the storage tank provides safe and easy handling. Contact us for more details on how our sodium and potassium methoxide catalysts can help you produce biodiesel cost effectively.
