Ethanol is a volatile, flammable, colorless liquid with a characteristic wine-like odor and pungent taste. It is a psychoactive recreational drug and the active ingredient in alcoholic drinks. It is made by fermenting the sugar or starch in plants such as corn, wheat, barley, sugar cane, and potatoes. Ethanol can be blended with gasoline to form a mixture called gasohol.
- Ethanol is an important industrial chemical; it is used as a solvent, in the synthesis of other organic chemicals, and as an additive to automotive gasoline (forming a mixture known as gasohol).
- Ethanol is also the intoxicating ingredient of many alcoholic beverages such as beer, wine, and distilled spirits.
- It is also used in the cosmetics and beauty products industry, in paints as a preservative because it is an effective solvent, and also used in cleansing products for preventing breach of organisms.
Ethanol 99.9%, also known as Ethyl Alcohol, is a versatile organic solvent widely used in chemical manufacturing, industrial cleaning, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, coatings, inks, and other industrial applications. Its excellent solvency, water compatibility, and relatively fast evaporation make it an important raw material for various formulations and processes.
Servochem LLC supplies Ethanol 99.9% for bulk industrial and commercial requirements, supporting manufacturers, distributors, traders, and other B2B customers.
Ethanol is a clear, colorless, flammable liquid with the chemical formula C₂H₆O. It is one of the most widely used alcohol solvents and can be mixed with water in many proportions.
Ethanol is valued for its ability to dissolve a broad range of substances, making it suitable for use as a solvent, cleaning agent, extraction medium, and processing chemical.
Ethanol works primarily as a solvent and carrier. Its molecular structure allows it to interact with both water and many organic substances.
In cleaning applications, ethanol can help dissolve oils, residues, and contaminants. Once applied, it evaporates relatively quickly, which can support fast-drying processes.
Before purchasing Ethanol 99.9%, consider:
- Application: Determine whether it will be used for cleaning, coatings, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, extraction, or chemical manufacturing.
- Purity: Confirm whether 99.9% purity meets your formulation requirements.
- Grade: Technical, industrial, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, or other grades may have different specifications.
- Documentation: Review the SDS, TDS, COA, and product specification.
- Packaging: Select packaging according to quantity, storage, transportation, and destination requirements.
- Regulatory Requirements: Confirm that the selected grade is permitted for the intended application and destination market.
Ethanol is an organic alcohol with the chemical formula C₂H₆O and CAS number 64-17-5. It is widely used as a solvent and processing chemical.
