Methylal
Methylal is manufactured by oxidizing methanol or through reaction of formaldehyde and methanol. It is a clear, colourless flammable liquid with a low boiling point, low viscosity, and excellent dissolving power. Methylal is soluble in water and miscible with most common organic solvents. It is therefore used primarily as a solvent in the manufacturing of resins, adhesives, paint strippers, and protective coatings.
