PRODUCT OVERVIEW
DESCRIPTION
Ethanol, also known as ethyl alcohol or simply alcohol, is a clear, colorless, and flammable liquid with the chemical formula C2H5OH. It is one of the most commonly used alcohols and is produced by the fermentation of sugars and other carbohydrates by yeast or bacteria. Ethanol has a wide range of applications, including as a fuel for vehicles, as a solvent in various industries, as a disinfectant, and as an ingredient in alcoholic beverages.Pure ethanol, also known as absolute ethanol, is 100% ethanol without any water or impurities. It is typically used in laboratory settings, as a fuel additive, and in some industrial applications. However, pure ethanol is highly flammable and can be toxic if ingested or inhaled, and therefore requires careful handling and storage.
