About Ethanol

Looking for Ethanol (Industrial, Pharma, or ENA)? ChemicalDekho connects you with licensed distilleries like India Glycols Ltd. Access high-purity Ethyl Alcohol for solvents, fuel blending, and pharmaceutical formulations.

Ethanol (CAS 64-17-5) serves as a universal solvent for paints, coatings, and personal care products like sanitizers and perfumes. Buyers can access Absolute Alcohol (99.9%) for moisture-sensitive reactions and Rectified Spirit for general applications. The network supports compliant sourcing of denatured and undenatured spirits.

The platform simplifies the regulatory landscape to bring verified suppliers capable of delivering bulk tanker loads with full compliance and quality assurance (IP/BP/USP standards).

  • Inhalation: Move to fresh air

Frequently Asked Questions

Rectified Spirit (RS) is typically 95-96% ethanol (azeotrope), while Absolute Ethanol is dehydrated to 99.9% purity for water-sensitive applications.

Yes. For undenatured ethanol (potable/pharma), a strict Excise License is required. For denatured ethanol (industrial), a Possession License/NOC from the state excise department is usually mandatory.

Most ethanol in India is fermentation-based (from molasses/grain), making it inherently bio-based and 'green' compared to synthetic petrochemical ethanol.

Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA) is typically 96% pure and used for beverages/perfumes due to its high organoleptic neutrality. Absolute Alcohol is 99.9% pure for industrial/lab use.
