    Chemical name: Methoxymethane;naphthalen-2-ol. Methoxymethane (dimethyl ether) is widely used as a low-boiling-point solvent in industrial manufacturing, particularly in coatings, adhesives and resins, and it also serves as a propellant in some household aerosol products and as a blowing agent for polyurethane foams; naphthalen-2-ol (2-naphthol) is a key dye and pigment intermediate used in the production of dyes and pigments, in coatings and inks, as a precursor for specialty dyes in cosmetics/personal care, and it also finds use in photographic chemicals.
