Methanol, also known as wood alcohol, methyl alcohol, or wood spirit, is the simplest form of alcohol, which chemical formula is CH3OH. Methanol is produced by the destructive distillation of wood. It is volatile, toxic, and flammable. This colorless liquid is mainly used as an intermediate in chemical synthesis, as a solvent, antifreeze, and as a source of environmentally friendly fuel.
Methanol Benefits
- Environmentally friendly fuel.
- Lower flammability risk than fuel.
- Can be made into hydrogen.
- Easier to store than hydrogen.
Methanol Applications
- Methanol is frequently used as a solvent in laboratories.
- It can be converted into formaldehyde which is then used to make products such as plastics, paint, and explosives.
- It can also be used as fuel which drastically reduces the emissions of toxins.
- Methanol can be also used to produces biodiesel.
- Small amounts of methanol can be used in wastewater converting harmful nitrates to safer nitrogen.
- Methanol is also used in in the Military Industry as fuel. It is also used as fuel for camping and boating.

What safety precautions should be taken when handling Methanol?
Several precautionary measures must be taken when handling Methanol: Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and hot surfaces - No smoking (P210); Keep container tightly closed (P233); Ground/Bond container and receiving equipment (P240); Use explosion-proof ventilating, lighting, and electrical equipment (P241); Use only non-sparking tools (P242); Take precautionary measures against static discharge (P243); Do not breathe fume, mist, vapors, or spray (P260, P261); Wash hands thoroughly after handling (P264); Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product (P270); Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area (P271); and always wear protective gloves, protective clothing, eye protection, and face protection (P280). These precautions are critical as Methanol is classified as toxic if swallowed, in contact with skin, or if inhaled.
What are the appropriate engineering controls for Methanol?
Appropriate engineering controls for Methanol include: Using explosion-proof ventilating, lighting, and electrical equipment (P241); Ensuring proper grounding/bonding of container and receiving equipment (P240); Providing adequate ventilation, preferably outdoors or in well-ventilated areas (P271); Implementing measures to prevent static discharge (P243); and Using only non-sparking tools when handling (P242). These engineering controls are necessary due to Methanol's classification as a highly flammable liquid and vapor (H225) with toxic properties. For specific ventilation requirements and additional engineering control details, please contact Ecolink.
