Methanol, also known as methyl alcohol, wood alcohol, wood naphtha or wood spirits, is a chemical with the formula CH3OH (often abbreviated MeOH). Methanol acquired the name "wood alcohol" because it was once produced chiefly as a byproduct of the destructive distillation of wood. Modern methanol is produced in a catalytic industrial process directly from carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen.  The boiling point of methanol is 64.7 °C.

Applications

Methanol, also known as wood alcohol, is a colorless and flammable liquid that has many industrial and commercial uses. Here are some common uses of methanol:

  1. Fuel: Methanol is used as a fuel in some racing cars, boats, and other vehicles. It can also be used as a fuel additive to increase the octane rating of gasoline/petrol.
  2. Solvent: Methanol is a versatile solvent that is used in the production of various chemicals, including formaldehyde, acetic acid, and methyl methacrylate. It is also used as a solvent in the production of pharmaceuticals, dyes, and paints.
  3. Antifreeze: Methanol is used as an antifreeze agent in automotive cooling systems and windshield washer fluid.
  4. Sterilization: Methanol can be used as a sterilizing agent for medical equipment and in laboratory settings.
  5. Cleaning agent: Methanol is a useful cleaning agent for removing grease, oil, and other contaminants from machinery and surfaces.
  6. Energy storage: Methanol can be used as an energy storage medium in fuel cells and other energy storage systems.
  7. Personal care products: Methanol is used as a denaturant in the production of some personal care products, such as hair care products and lotions.

It is important to handle methanol with care, as it is a toxic substance that can cause serious health effects if ingested or inhaled. Proper safety precautions should always be taken when working with this chemical.

    Best priced fuel out there for my bio fuel fire. Lovely burn though it does leave a strong peculiar smell that can sting your eyes as it burns out but only as it goes out.

    A better value product than the branded fuels for those using Methanol/water for with direct and/or chargepipe injection, however, you MUST filter/strain this when mixing before use, I filter it using 120 mesh and I find "bits" on the filter, if not removed these WILL clog your inline filter eventually or worse still your nozzles!
