Product Description
Applications of Methanol
Solvents
Methanol is primarily used as an industrial solvent to help create inks, resins, adhesives, and dyes. It is also used as a solvent in the manufacture of important pharmaceutical ingredients and products such as cholesterol, streptomycin, vitamins, and hormones.
Antifreeze
Methanol has chemical properties which allow it to lower the freezing point of a water-based liquid and increase its boiling point. These attributes lead methanol to be used as an antifreeze in windshield washer fluid to keep the cleaning fluid from freezing.
Race Fuel
Roughly 45% of the world’s methanol is used in energy-related applications. Methanol can be used as a type of vehicle fuel or marine fuel for boats. Methanol also is used in biodiesel, a renewable type of fuel made from plants or animal fats that can be used in place of, or blended into, conventional fuel.
Domestic and Industrial Heating
Methanol's high energy content make it a valuable fuel for both domestic and industrial heating. Methanol can be used in specially designed stoves or furnaces and can fuel boilers and other industrial heating equipment.
