Here are one series Physical data about Methylal. Appearance of it, Methylal is colourless liquid with a chloroform-like odour. Melting point of it is -105 C. Boiling point of it is 42 C . Vapour density of it is 2.6 (air = 1) Vapour pressure of it is. Density (g cm-3) of it is 0.86.the Flash point of it is -18 C. Explosion limits of it is 1.6% - 17.6%.Methylal can be manufactured by oxidation of methanol or by the reaction of formaldehyde with methanol. In aqueous acid, it is hydrolyzed back to formaldehyde and methanol.
