Questions & Answers
Have a Question?
-
Because ethanol is an azeotrope and so hydroscopic how do you work with the 200 proof without it drawing water from the air? Or is that really a concern? Thanks
Hello, and thank you for your question,
When handling the ethanol, it is done in a controlled environment with controlled humidity and a close system is used to transfer to smaller containers. Meaning that exposure to the air is minimal, and that air in the environment is controlled humidity.
-
Does this require a permit to buy? Or is there a limit as to how much you can buy?
Hello, and thank you for your question,
You may purchase less than 5 gallons per year of this product without a permit. Any quantity and frequency above that requires a permit.
-

Hello, and thank you for your question,
No, this product is undenatured. It means it does not contain methanol per the specification.
-
Can you please recommend the ideal alcohol to use for sterilizing stainless steel and aluminum trays and parts in freeze drying equipment? It must evaporate quickly (high concentration), be food safe and reasonable cost in gallon quantities.
This is the right product that can be used in sterilization with highest purity >99.5% Food grade ethyl alcohol.

What does ethanol 200 proof mean?
Ethanol 200 proof means that the product contains 100% alcohol and 0% water. Contrary to a common misconception, ethanol 200 proof may only contain 100% ethanol (ethyl alcohol), or it can be a blend of alcohols that total 100%. Non-denatured ethanol 200 proof products are pure and food-grade because they only contain ethanol (ethyl alcohol). On the other hand, denatured ethanol 200 proof is a blend of food-safe ethyl alcohol (90%), and two toxic alcohols, methanol (5%) and isopropyl alcohol (5%). Essentially, 200 proof ethanol means that the product contains no water. It does not mean that it is 100% ethanol.
-
Is 200 proof ethanol the same as 100%?
Yes and no, it depends on what 100% means in the question. Two types of 200 proof ethanol are undenatured and denatured. So yes, undenatured, or non-denatured 200 proof ethanol is 100% ethyl alcohol (ethanol) and it contains no water. However, 200 Proof denatured ethanol is 100% alcohol, but not 100% ethyl alcohol. Lab Alley brand 200 proof denatured ethanol contains about 90% ethyl alcohol, 5% methanol, and 5% isopropyl alcohol. Methanol and isopropyl are both alcohols but they are toxic denaturants which make 200 proof denatured ethanol less expensive, but unfit for consumption and food processing applications.
-
What is 200 proof ethanol and how is it used?
This Lab Alley brand 200 proof ethanol product is 100% pure undenatured ethyl alcohol that meets USP testing specifications, FCC standards, and Kosher certification guidelines. Because it is a safe food ingredient with no additives, it is classified as food grade. It doesn’t contain water, which makes it anhydrous. It is the highest-purity solvent available for medicinal plant extracts and botanical oils. It’s a very popular culinary solvent for food processing and baking. It is ideal for cosmetic manufacturing and herbal tincture production processes. It is an effective reagent and cleaner. Denatured 200 proof ethanol is a different and less expensive product because it contains additives that make it unfit for drinking. Because it is not taxed as alcohol in the U.S., denatured ethyl alcohol is cheaper than non-denatured ethanol.
