Industrial Ethanol is a grade Ethanol (Ethyl Alcohol) with high chemical impurity and technical properties unfit for food products (beverages) but suitable for several industrial applications. The present of Industrial Ethanol found out widely in
- The personal care products: Hairspray, mouthwash, aftershave, cologne and presume…. All contain large amounts of alcohol by volume. Industrial Ethanol is also used in many deodorants, lotions, hand sanitizers, soaps and shampoos.
- Pharmaceutical products: The characteristics of Ethyl Alcohol make it’s a prime carrier for a whole spectrum of medicines including cough treatments, decongestants, iodine solution and many others. As a solvent for the pharmaceutical industry,Ethanol is useful for processing antibiotics, vaccines, tables, pills and vitamins.
- Many Cleaning products contain high volumes of Industrial alcohol. A bottle of household disinfectant spray can contain nearly 80% ethanol.
- Solvents in the production of many other substances including paints, lacquer and explosives.
- A raw material for the production of vinegar and yeast and similarly in chemical processing as a chemical intermediate.
- Even food products like extracts, flavorings and and glazes contain large amopunts of alcohol. The ethanol is also used in some liquid animal feed as a energy source.
In some market, people also rectify Industrial Ethanol again to upgrade its quality for higher applications which need low impurities, better smell.
