PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
Description
Methanol (CH₃OH) is a toxic alcohol found in various household and industrial products. It is less dense than water, with vapors heavier than air, and is corrosive. Contact can severely irritate the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes, and it may be toxic through ingestion, inhalation, or skin absorption. Products containing methanol include windshield washer fluid, gas line antifreeze, carburetor cleaner, copy machine fluid, perfumes, food warming fuel, and other types of fuels.
