Description
High-Purity Ethanol 70-100% | Medical Grade Disinfectant
Laboratory and Medical Grade Ethanol for Multiple Applications
Ethanol (C₂H₅OH), also known as ethyl alcohol, is a versatile, fast-evaporating, and flammable solvent supplied in 70%, 95%, and 99–100% concentrations. It is widely used across laboratories, pharmaceutical industries, hospitals, cleanroom facilities, and industrial manufacturing.
Supplied in AR (Analytical Reagent), ACS, and LAB grades, Ethanol is available in clear, colorless or pale blue/purple liquid form depending on its formulation. It is highly miscible with water and most organic solvents, making it ideal for disinfection, sample preservation, tissue processing, solvent extractions, and chemical synthesis. For comprehensive alcohol safety guidelines, refer to CDC’s chemical safety protocols and detailed application information at the World Health Organization’s disinfection standards.
The 70% solution is commonly used as a bactericidal disinfectant, while the 95% and 99–100% forms serve as high-grade solvents in analytical, industrial, and medical formulations. Proper handling and storage in sealed, flammable-resistant containers are required. Ethanol is classified as UN 1170, a flammable liquid with a low flash point.
