Methanol

name:Methanol

also as Methylol

Methanol is a colorless alcohol, hygroscopic and completely miscible with
water, but much lighter (specific gravity 0.8). It is a good solvent, but very
toxic and extremely flammable. This simple single carbon alcohol is a volatile
solvent and a light fuel.

CAS NO.:67-56-1

MOL WT.: CH3OH   32.042

package:
iron drum or tank

Storage:
tanks for methanol are made of carbon steel. Outdoor storage is
preferred, with the following safety precautions: keep away from ignition
sources and excessive heat; wear goggles; rubber gloves; chemical cartridge
respirator; aprons and boots.

usage:
Formaldehyde production is the largest market for methanol, followed by the
fast growing market for MTBE. It is also used to produce acetic acid, fuels,
solvents and methyle derivatives.
