Methanol
Product Description
Methanol, also known as methyl alcohol, is a fundamental raw material in the chemical industry. It is a colorless, volatile, and flammable liquid with a slight alcoholic odor. As one of the most commonly used organic solvents, methanol plays a critical role in the synthesis of various downstream chemicals.
In addition to its industrial applications, methanol is also gaining traction as a clean fuel alternative, particularly in biodiesel production and energy sectors. Its excellent miscibility with water and many organic solvents makes it a versatile component across various processes.
