Key Applications of Methanol (Methyl Alcohol)
Methanol's reactivity and properties make it an invaluable compound across diverse sectors:
Formaldehyde Production: The largest single use of methanol is in the production of formaldehyde, which is then used to make resins (like urea-formaldehyde, melamine-formaldehyde, and phenol-formaldehyde) for adhesives, plastics, and coatings.
Methanol to Olefins/Propylene (MTO/MTP): A growing application where methanol is converted into light olefins such as ethylene and propylene, which are fundamental building blocks for plastics.
Fuels and Energy: Methanol is gaining importance as a clean-burning fuel or fuel additive (e.g., in marine fuel, biodiesel, and as a component in gasoline blending). It's also used to produce MTBE (Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether), an octane enhancer (though its use is declining in some regions).
Solvent: Its excellent solvency makes it a widely used solvent in various industrial processes, including paint strippers, cleaning solutions, and chemical reactions.
Chemical Intermediate: A crucial feedstock for the production of numerous other chemicals, including acetic acid, methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE), methyl methacrylate (MMA), and various methylamines.
Antifreeze: Used in some antifreeze formulations for vehicles and pipelines.
