Ethanol

Denatured Ethanol is a type of Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) intentionally rendered unfit for human consumption by adding denaturants. It is commonly used for various industrial, commercial, and scientific applications where the purity required for consumption is unnecessary.

Technical Data:

• Chemical Formula: C2H5OH
• Molecular Weight: Approximately 46.07 g/mol
• Appearance: Clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic odor
• Purity: Typically contains around 95% ethanol and 5% denaturants
• Boiling Point: Approximately 78.37°C (173.07°F)
• Melting Point: Approximately -114.1°C (-173.42°F)
• CAS Number: Varies depending on the specific denatured formulation

Industrial and Commercial Applications:

• Denatured Ethanol is used in various applications, including but not limited to:
  • Solvent: Commonly used for paints, varnishes, and coatings.
  • Cleaning Agent: Effective in cleaning and degreasing applications.
  • Fuel: Utilized as a biofuel and in alcohol-based fuel blends.
  • Pharmaceuticals: Used as a solvent in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
  • Personal Care Products: These are found in cosmetics and toiletries.

Advantages:

• Cost-effective alternative to pure Ethanol.
• Suitable for industrial and non-consumable applications.
• Versatile as a solvent and fuel.

Absolute Ethanol:

Brief Description:

• Absolute Ethanol, also known as anhydrous Ethanol, is a highly pure form of Ethanol containing minimal water content (typically less than 1%). It is used in applications where the highest purity level is required, such as in laboratories and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Technical Data:

• Chemical Formula: C2H5OH
• Molecular Weight: Approximately 46.07 g/mol
• Appearance: Clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic odor
• Purity: Typically contains over 99% ethanol with minimal water content
• Boiling Point: Approximately 78.37°C (173.07°F)
• Melting Point: Approximately -114.1°C (-173.42°F)
• CAS Number: 64-17-5

Laboratory and Pharmaceutical Applications:

• Absolute Ethanol is used in various applications that require high purity, including:
  • Laboratory Research: Commonly used as a solvent and reagent in chemical research.
  • Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Crucial in the production of medicines and pharmaceuticals.
  • Medical and Healthcare: Used as a disinfectant and sterilizing agent.
  • Cosmetics and Perfumery: High-quality ingredients in cosmetic and perfume formulations.

Advantages:

• Exceptional purity is suitable for critical applications.
• Low water content prevents interference in reactions.
• Essential for laboratory and pharmaceutical processes.

It’s important to note that Denatured Ethanol is not suitable for consumption due to the added denaturants. At the same time, Absolute Ethanol is used in applications where the highest purity is required, often in controlled settings like laboratories and pharmaceutical facilities. Customers should choose the type of Ethanol that matches their specific needs and safety requirements.
