About Methanol
Methanol is a simple alcohol (CH₃OH) primarily used as a chemical feedstock for formaldehyde and acetic acid production, fuel additive, and solvent in pharmaceuticals and electronics manufacturing. Internationally traded grades include fuel-grade (99.85% purity) and chemical-grade (99.9% minimum), with fuel-grade representing the largest volume segment. China dominates global production and exports, followed by the Middle East, Russia, and North America. Key producing regions leverage natural gas or coal gasification processes. Buyers should verify water content and aldehyde levels, as methanol's hygroscopic nature and sensitivity to moisture significantly impact downstream application performance and storage stability.
