Description:
Methanol, also known as Methyl Alcohol or Wood Alcohol, is a clear, colorless, and volatile liquid with a mild, characteristic alcoholic odor. It is completely miscible with water and most organic solvents. Methanol is a versatile industrial chemical used as a solvent, fuel, and chemical intermediate in the production of formaldehyde, acetic acid, and various other compounds.

Applications:

• Chemical Industry: Key raw material for the production of formaldehyde, acetic acid, methylamines, and methyl methacrylate.

• Fuel & Energy: Used as a clean-burning fuel, antifreeze agent, and in biodiesel production (transesterification process).

• Pharmaceuticals: Solvent and intermediate for synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

• Paints & Coatings: Used as a solvent in varnishes, inks, and coatings.

• Laboratory Use: Common solvent and reagent in analytical and organic chemistry
