Ethanol, commonly known as industrial alcohol, is a colorless, volatile liquid that is widely used as a solvent, fuel, and in the manufacture of various chemicals. It is produced through the fermentation of sugars or by the hydration of ethylene. Ethanol is a versatile compound that serves multiple purposes across different industries due to its ability to dissolve a wide range of substances and its relatively low toxicity compared to other solvents.
| Purity | Typically 95% to 99.5% |
| Form | Liquid |
| Boiling Point | 78.37°C (173.07°F) |
| Density | 0.789 g/cm³ at 20°C |
| Flash Point | 13°C (55°F) |
When purchasing ethanol, buyers should consider the required purity level, as this can vary depending on the intended application. It is also important to specify the desired form, whether it is anhydrous or aqueous. Certifications for food-grade or pharmaceutical-grade ethanol may be necessary depending on the use case. Additionally, buyers should indicate the quantity needed, as bulk orders may affect pricing and availability.
