Application

1. One of the basic organic raw material. Mainly used in the manufacture of formaldehyde, acetic acid, methyl chloride, methylamine and dimethyl sulfate and so on a variety of organic products.

 2. One of the important chemical raw materials. In recent years, with the development of C1 chemical engineering and methanol has become the important raw material for manufacturing ethylene and propylene.

 3. Used for paint, varnish, shellac, dyestuff, printing ink, adhesives, alkaloids, cellulose acetate, cellulose nitrate, ethyl cellulose, polyvinyl butyral solvents.

 4. Is a manufacture of pesticide, medicine, plastic, synthetic fiber and organic chemical products such as formaldehyde, methylamine, methyl chloride, dimethyl sulfate and other raw materials. Other used in automobile antifreeze, and metal surface cleaning agent and alcohol denaturant, etc.

 5. It is important to fuel, it can be mixed with gasoline for the use of alternative fuels. Since the 1980 s, used in the production of methanol gasoline octane number additive methyl tert-butyl ether and methanol gasoline, methanol fuel, methanol protein and etc, greatly promoted the development of the methanol production and market needs; Has been used as fuel additive of formula one racing methanol, also widely used in methanol fuel cells.
6. Used as analytical reagent, such as solvent, methylation reagents, chromatography analytical reagent. Also used in organic synthesis.
