Methanol occurs naturally in small quantities in fresh fruits, vegetables, fermented beverages like wine and beer due to pectin breakdown, and plant volatile emissions. Commercially, methanol is a foundational industrial chemical found in windshield washer fluids, certain antifreeze products, paint strippers, varnishes, model airplane fuels, canned heat chafing fuels, and various chemical solvents utilized in manufacturing plastics, synthetic resins, adhesives, and formaldehyde.
