Methanol (methyl alcohol; wood alcohol) amagwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri monga chosungunulira cha lacquers, utoto, vanishi, simenti, inki, utoto, mapulasitiki, ndi zokutira zosiyanasiyana mafakitale.Zochuluka kwambiri zimagwiritsidwa ntchito popanga formaldehyde ndi zina za mankhwala monga acetic acid, methyl halides ndi terephthalate, methyl methacrylate, ndi methylamines.Methanol imagwiritsidwanso ntchito ngati chowonjezera cha petulo, ngati chigawo cha lacquer thinners, pokonzekera antifreeze amtundu wa "nonpermanent", komanso pokonzekera zotentha zam'chitini za mowa wa jellied.Amagwiritsidwanso ntchito pobwereza madzimadzi, pochotsa utoto, komanso poyeretsa.Kuthekera kwa methanol ngati njira ina yamtsogolo yamafuta kukuwonetsa kuti kugwiritsa ntchito mankhwalawa kungachuluke m'malo mochepa.Kutentha kwa chipinda, methanol ndi madzi opanda mtundu ndi fungo lopweteka.Imakhala yosasunthika, yokhala ndi mphamvu ya nthunzi ya 96 mmHg ndi kachulukidwe ka nthunzi wa 1.11.Ndi miscible ndi madzi ndi sungunuka ndi organic solvents.Imapezeka m'chilengedwe ngati fermentation product yamatabwa komanso ngati gawo la zipatso ndi ndiwo zamasamba.
