Description
Introduction to Methanol: The Versatile Chemical Powerhouse
Methanol also known as methanol alcohol is a simple chemical that plays a big role in the global chemical industry. It has been used for a time and is known for its many uses from making other chemicals to being a solvent in industries. Methanol is a colorless liquid with a mild alcohol smell but it is very useful and has many applications, including chemical manufacturing, fuel blending, antifreeze, pharmaceuticals, plastics and more.
The methanol we get from Zagros Petrochemical Company and distribute through Shobeir Shimi is of high quality and purity making it perfect for industries that need the best.
Methanol: Chemical Properties and Technical Overview
To use methanol well we need to understand its structure and properties. The molecular formula for methanol is CH3OH. It has one methyl group and one hydroxyl group, which makes it a good solvent.
