Industrial alcohol is an alcohol used in industry, which contains a small amount of methanol and 96% ethanol. Industrial alcohol is industrial alcohol, also known as denatured alcohol and industrial wine. The purity of industrial alcohol is generally 95% and 99%, which is mainly produced by synthesis and brewing. The total cost of synthesis is very low and the ethanol content is very high. The ethanol content of brewing industrial alcohol is generally greater than or equal to 95%, and the methanol content is less than 1%.

The purity of industrial alcohol is generally 95% and 99%. There are two main modes of production: synthesis and brewing (corn or cassava). Generally, the synthesis cost is low and the methanol content is high, so the price is cheap. Generally, the industrial alcohol content of brewing is greater than or equal to 95%, and the methanol content is lower than 0.0 1%, so the price is relatively expensive.

Application field of methanol

1, the main application field of methanol is the production of formaldehyde, which can be used to produce adhesives, mainly used in wood processing industry, and secondly used as a treatment agent for molding compounds, coatings, textiles and paper.

2. Another main use of methanol is to produce acetic acid. The consumption of acetic acid accounts for about 7% of the global demand for methanol, which can produce vinyl acetate, cellulose acetate and acetate. Its demand is closely related to the demand of coatings, adhesives and textiles.
