Methanol (me methyl mowa; mowa wa nkhuni) umagwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri ngati zosungunulira, utoto, ma varnisses, simenti, ma utoto, ndi zokutira zosiyanasiyana zamafakitale. Zochuluka zimagwiritsidwa ntchito popanga formaldehyde ndi zochokera zina za mankhwala monga acetic acid, meeyl haledes ndi tereyl methacrytes, ndi methylamines. Methanol amagwiritsidwanso ntchito ngati chowonjezera cha mafuta, monga gawo la owopa a Lacquine, mu fifufare kukonzekera mtundu wa "wosakhazikika", komanso mu muyeso wothira mowa wamafuta. Amagwiritsidwanso ntchito polemba madzi, mwa penti, komanso ngati wothandizira. Kutha kwa methanol ngati njira ina yamtsogolo kwa mafuta akuwonetsa kuti kugwiritsa ntchito mankhwalawa kumakulitsa m'malo mochepa. Kutentha, methanol ndi madzi opanda utoto okhala ndi fungo labwino. Ndizosasunthika, ndikukakamizidwa ndi mpweya wa 96 mmhg ndi kachulukidwe ka 1.11. Imakhala yolakwika ndi madzi ndikusungunuka ndi zina zolimbitsa thupi. Imapezeka mwachilengedwe ngati mtengo wamatanda komanso monga zipatso ndi masamba ena.
