Alcohols are one of the larger families of chemicals. The two simplest alcohols are methanol, C <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon>H <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen>3O <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen>H <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen> and ethanol, C 2H 5OH.
Methanol is also known as methyl alcohol, methyl hydrate, hydroxymethane, methyl hydroxide, methylic alcohol, methylol, wood alcohol, wood naptha or wood spirits. Ethanol is also known as ethyl alcohol. Ethanol is the alcohol in liquor. Methanol is the most common denaturing agent for ethanol. The only other alcohol of any significant use in the marine industry is polyvinyl alcohol or PVA which is used as a mold release agent in fiberglass molding. Yeah, I know, more than any of you wanted to know. Had to find something to justify that expensive education years ago. Dennis C.
