Used as a solvent in industrial and laboratory applications where a polar, water-miscible medium is required. Commonly applied in liquid chromatography, especially in reversed-phase HPLC, due to its ability to dissolve a wide range of organic compounds and its compatibility with UV detection. Employed as a cleaning agent for equipment and surfaces in pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing. Also utilized in fuel applications, such as in methanol-water injection systems for internal combustion engines to improve efficiency and reduce emissions. Frequently serves as a reagent or reaction medium in organic synthesis, including esterification and transesterification processes. Used in the production of formaldehyde when diluted and processed accordingly. Its low freezing point makes it suitable for use in antifreeze mixtures and de-icing fluids. Widely adopted in analytical chemistry for sample preparation and dilution.
