METHANOL commonly used in chemical and synthetic lubricants, windshield washer compounds and gasoline line de-icers. A highly effective material for inhibiting the formation of ice and hydrates in natural gas systems. METHANOL carries the advantages of being non-corrosive to carbon steel, being volatile, having a high affinity for water, being low cost and being widely available in quantity. In addition to widespread use of MTBE as a lead-free octane booster, blends of METHANOL and co-solvent alcohols can be used as gasoline extenders and octane improvers. Neat METHANOL is a proven furl in modified automobile, truck and bus engines. METHANOL is more efficient and produces less photochemical oxidants/pollutants than gasoline. METHANOL has higher research and motor octane numbers than gasoline.
