PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Product Description

Food Grade 99.5% Ethyl Alcohol (Ethanol) is a high-purity ethanol grade supplied as a clear and colorless liquid. Ethanol, also known as Ethyl Alcohol, has the molecular formula C2H6O and a molecular weight of approximately 46.07 g/mol. The referenced product provides a 99.5% minimum assay together with controlled limits for methanol, aldehydes, higher alcohols, acetic acid, ethyl acetate, nonvolatile matter, heavy metals, and other quality parameters. The reference identifies the material as food grade; however, final food-grade status and regulatory compliance must be confirmed against the actual supplier COA, Safety Data Sheet, and the standards applicable to the destination market. Ethanol is a highly flammable liquid and vapor. Storage, transportation, workplace handling, and final commercial use must therefore follow the actual supplier documentation and applicable regulatory requirements.

APPLICATIONS

Typical Uses

Used in regulated chemical-industry manufacturing and processing applications where the appropriate ethanol grade is specified.
Used in regulated medical and healthcare manufacturing contexts where the required ethanol grade and product approvals are established.
Applied in food-industry processing contexts only where food-grade compliance and the required regulatory documentation are confirmed.
Used in selected agricultural production and processing contexts subject to applicable regulatory requirements.
STORAGE & HANDLING

Handling Guidance

Store and handle the material strictly in accordance with the actual supplier Safety Data Sheet and applicable fire-safety, transport, and workplace chemical-safety requirements. Ethanol is a highly flammable liquid and vapor. Storage areas, packaging, transportation, ventilation, exposure controls, and emergency procedures must therefore comply with the regulations applicable to the supplied grade and destination market. Keep the product properly identified and use supplier-specific documentation for compatibility, spill response, transportation, and disposal requirements. Generic website information should not replace the actual supplier SDS, COA, or regulatory documentation.
