About Methanol
Methanol is a clear, colorless liquid at room temperature and is the simplest member of the alcohol family with the formula CH3OH. Also known as Methyl Alcohol, Wood Alcohol, and Wood Spirit, it is highly toxic to humans, and an extreme fire hazard.
Methanol is used to manufacture herbal solutions, in research and testing laboratories for phytochemical study, phytochemical analysis, and chemical synthesis, and to prepare methanol/water/acetic acid mixtures.
Methanol is a popular chemical precursor to other commodity chemicals and methylamines, converted into chemicals such as formaldehyde or acetic acid. It is used a gasoline additive in biodiesel, as well as in water methanol injections in high performance engines
