Ethanol Description, Properties, Uses, Safety, Prices

 

Ethanol (ethyl alcohol, CH3CH2OH) is one of a group of chemical compounds (alcohols) with molecules that contain a hydroxyl group (OH) bonded to a carbon atom.

Ethanol is one of the largest volume organic chemicals used in industrial and consumer products. The primary industrial uses of this aliphatic alcohol are as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals and as a solvent.

Ethanol is used in the manufacture of drugs, plastics, lacquers, polishes, plasticizers, and cosmetics. Ethanol is used in medicine as a topical anti-infective, and as an antidote for ethylene glycol or methanol overdose.

Commercial products containing ethanol include beverages, perfumes, aftershaves and colognes, medicinal liquids, mouthwashes, liniments, and some rubbing alcohols.

    Ethanol is a clear alcohol that is extracted from sugar or grains. It is often blended with gasoline or diesel.

      Overview Of Extraction Grade Ethanol Products Sold In The USA

      Today, in 2022, food grade ethanol (pure non-denatured 200 proof ethanol) is gaining popularity, hailed as the safest and most effective solvent for extracting a full-spectrum concentrate intended for medicinal and recreational use.

      The terms "botanical extraction" and "botanical processing" are often used interchangeably. The "Four Pillars Of Quality Botanical Extraction" involve cultivation, analytics, extraction and biochemistry.

      Lab Alley ethanol products sold in the USA are perfect for the extraction pillar in the equation. The extraction process converts target molecules in raw material into a usable product.  

      Using ethanol as a solvent is very popular in the herbal and processing industry because it is relatively safe for edibles and oils that people consume every day. 

      If you are wondering, denatured alcohol and denatured alcohol fuel are the same thing. Denatured alcohol sold at LabAlley.com is used as a cleaner, disinfectant and as a fuel for camp stoves and alcohol burners.

      Choose Between Two Types Of Extraction Grade Ethanol

      Food Grade Ethanol For Extraction 

      Food grade ethanol is pure 100% ethyl alcohol. It is 200 proof. It is non-denatured. It is an essential chemical compound used in many plant processing facilities in the United States in 2022.

      Food grade ethanol is very safe, when properly used, for Botanical extraction and processing.  It is approved for use in food and beverage processing facilities. Excise tax and HAZMAT fees may apply to these products. 

      Fast Shipping In The USA

      Where You Order Food Grade (FCC) Ethanol

      FCC grade meets the requirements of the Food Chemical Codex. This grade of ethanol is suitable for all food, beverage and nutritional supplement applications. 

      What Is "Pure Ethanol"?
      Pure ethanol is "Non-Denatured". It is the highest form of ethanol.  It is also called "undenatured", "Everclear", "Pure Grain Alcohol", "100% Alcohol", "200 Proof", "Absolute Ethanol", "Food Grade Ethanol", "Extraction Grade Ethanol", and "Drinking Alcohol".

      No chemicals or poisons are added to pure ethanol. Most "pure ethanol" sold is 200 proof. However, Lab Alley also sells "pure 190 proof ethanol".

      In the case of pure 190 proof ethanol, water rather than poisons are added, so 190 proof ethanol can also be classified as "pure ethanol", "pure ethyl alcohol" or "pure alcohol". 

      Denatured ethanol is not considered to be pure because it contains harmful additives. You can buy 1 pint, 1 gallon, 5 gallons and 55 gallons of pure ethanol here. You don't have to look for a supplier of ethanol near you. You can buy it online here. 

      Uses Of Pure Ethanol
      Pure ethanol is a grade or classification of ethanol that is suitable for all food, beverage, medicinal and nutritional supplement applications in which the product, or derivatives of the product, come into contact with humans.

      It is commonly used to extract components, flavor molecules, and essential oils from plants. It is used as a solvent in labs. The pure ethanol sold by Lab Alley is not used for fuel.  In 2015, the USA became the world's largest producer of ethanol fuel. 

      Lab Alley primarily sells pure ethanol to industrial and manufacturing firms, food processing companies, plant and extraction facilities, labs, universities and individual consumers. 

      What Is Ethanol?

      Ethanol is a chemical compound (2-carbon alcohol) and renewable fuel produced by plant material (grain and sugar) fermentation and petrochemical processes. It is a colorless, volatile, flammable, clear liquid. 

      It is sold in the United States, both on the retail and wholesale level, as a solvent, fuel and intoxicating agent used in liquors.  Ethanol is the systematic name defined by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC).  

      The term ethanol was invented as an outcome of a resolution adopted in 1892 at the International Conference on Chemical Nomenclature in Switzerland.

      The terms "alcohol" and "ethanol" often get intermingled. Even though “alcohol” refers to a wider group of substances in chemistry lingo, most people today use "alcohol" as the name of ethanol.
