Ethanol, identified by the CAS number 64-17-5, is a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic odor. As a prominent ethanol supplier from China, we ensure that our ethanol products meet strict quality standards. With the chemical formula C₂H₅OH, it is a volatile and flammable substance, with a boiling point of approximately 78.37°C and a melting point of around -114.1°C. Our ethanol is produced through advanced manufacturing processes, guaranteeing high purity and consistency. As a reliable ethanol supplier in China, we prioritize the quality and stability of our products to meet the diverse needs of our customers.​

 

 

Industrial grade ethanol is a key product in our range, designed to cater to various industrial applications. It typically has a purity level of 95% or higher, with minimal impurities. The water content in industrial grade ethanol is strictly controlled, usually below 5%, to ensure its effectiveness in industrial processes. It is characterized by its good solubility, making it suitable for use as a solvent in the production of paints, coatings, and adhesives. Our industrial grade ethanol undergoes rigorous testing to meet industry-specific requirements, ensuring it performs well in different industrial settings.​

 

 

Food grade ethanol is another important offering, adhering to strict safety and purity standards for use in food and beverage-related applications. It has an extremely high purity level, often exceeding 99%, with very low levels of impurities such as methanol and other volatile organic compounds. This ensures it is safe for consumption and suitable for use in the production of extracts, flavorings, and alcoholic beverages. Our food grade ethanol is processed to remove any harmful substances, meeting the stringent regulations set by food safety authorities. It is a reliable choice for industries that require high-quality ethanol for food-related purposes.​

Ethanol is an excellent organic solvent widely used in industrial production. In the chemical industry, it can be used to dissolve resins, rubber, dyes, etc. It is an important solvent in the production process of synthetic rubber, plastics, coatings and other products. In the printing industry, ethanol is often used as a solvent for ink, which helps to achieve uniform adhesion and drying of ink on paper. In addition, in the spice industry, ethanol can dissolve various natural and synthetic spices, facilitating the extraction, blending, and processing of spices. ​

Ethanol has a significant disinfectant and bactericidal effect in the pharmaceutical field, and a 75% ethanol solution is a commonly used disinfectant in medical practice. The disinfection principle is to denature proteins, destroy the structure of bacteria and viruses, and thus achieve the goal of killing them. In hospitals, it is commonly used for skin disinfection, surface disinfection of medical equipment, etc. Meanwhile, in households, 75% ethanol can also be used for daily hygiene disinfection, such as hand disinfection, surface disinfection of items, etc. ​

Ethanol can be used as fuel, with ethanol gasoline being a common example. Ethanol gasoline is the addition of a certain proportion of ethanol to gasoline, which has the advantages of sufficient combustion and low pollution. The use of ethanol gasoline can reduce the emissions of harmful substances such as carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons in car exhaust, which is beneficial for improving air quality. In addition, ethanol is a renewable energy source that can be produced through fermentation of grains, plant straw, and other materials, alleviating dependence on petroleum resources. ​

Ethanol has various applications in the food industry. For example, in the brewing industry, ethanol is the main component of alcohol, and various Baijiu, beer, wine, etc. are produced through fermentation and other processes. In food processing, ethanol can be used to extract flavor compounds, pigments, etc. from food, and can also be used as a food preservative to inhibit the growth and reproduction of microorganisms and extend the shelf life of food. ​
