High purity ethanol has a number of practical industrial applications as a solvent for chemical manufacturing processes. When ethanol is mixed with other chemicals, they are called specially denatured alcohols, or SDA’s.
Specially denatured alcohols such as methylated ethanol are used as high purity solvents to manufacture products such as paints, coatings, wood stains, and certain rubber/latex products. Methylated ethanol is also used in pharmaceutical manufacturing as a polar solvent for separation and extraction processes. Personal care products and cosmetics are often produced using SDA ethanol as a solvent during the initial phases of the manufacturing process.
Parchem supplies numerous SDA’s that utilize different denaturants suitable for certain applications. Parchem offers SDA ethanols that are denatured with n-heptane, methanol, isopropanol, toluene, cyclohexane, or other common denaturants. We also supply a range of purities for ethanol including 150 proof, 190 proof, and high purity 200 proof ethanol.
