Methanol Methanol

Amazing uses of methanol alcohol

Methanol alcohol is one of the 3 important chemical substances in the whole world, from which many industries make numerous derivatives. This product is also known as methyl alcohol and wood alcohol and is currently mass produced in our country.
It is necessary to know that methanols are poisonous and eating them causes blindness and eventually death. Methanol is a volatile, colorless liquid alcohol that is used in the production of antifreeze and solvents.

Also, it is an excellent substitute for gasoline because it has a high octane percentage and as a result the fuel will have a higher degree of purity. This material is used as an antiseptic and plays an important role in the production of varnish and paint cleaners.

One of the main products obtained from them is acetic acid, which has many uses. One of the most important applications of methanol alcohol is in the production of resins, which are used as casting resins in the production of compact and multi-layered boards.

In the production of paints and resins, the addition of methanol can dilute the colors, on the other hand, it plays an important role in the production of plastics and polymers, and is often used as a solvent in the production of pharmaceutical products, including hormones and vitamins.

Methanol has a great effect in removing dried paint, which can remove paint from surfaces if it is in contact with paint for a long time.

The high solubility of methanols has made them a very special cleaning agent in thinners. Also, they have the ability to dissolve in water and their ignition power is very low, which has made them used in the production of antifreezes.

It is interesting to know that in the past, this product was used as an antifreeze solvent to cool the car engine.

Its disinfecting property has made it used in sewage treatment plants to remove bacteria; On the other hand, the corrosion inhibiting property of methanol has increased its use in making stainless paints.

In general, methanol has very wide applications in various industries, and the pole of methanol production in the world is our country, Iran, where large petrochemical plants in various cities, including Zagros and Shiraz, produce this product.

Maron, Kaveh and Shazand Petrochemicals are considered as the most important petrochemical producers of this product in the country, which provide them to buyers in 165 kg barrels.
