Application

Ethanol (99.5) serves multifaceted roles across various industries due to its properties as a clear, colorless, flammable liquid with a pleasant odor. It is primarily known for its applications as a solvent and its significant presence in alcoholic beverages, where it is produced through the fermentation of sugars. Beyond these uses, ethanol's versatility extends to being an effective disinfectant and antimicrobial preservative in pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations. It acts as a penetration enhancer in transdermal drug delivery systems and is involved in the chemical synthesis of a wide array of products such as plastics, lacquers, perfumes, and adhesives. As a critical component in industries, ethanol is manufactured both from grain distillation and through the catalytic hydration of ethene. Despite ethanol's prominent role in alcoholic drinks, it is also crucial in various scientific and industrial processes, demonstrating its importance as a fundamental compound in both everyday products and specialized applications.
