Ethanol

Ethanol anhydrous is a volatile, colorless and transparent liquid under normal temperature and pressure. It is slightly toxic, and the pure liquid cannot be directly drunk. Aqueous ethanol solution has a wine-like odor with slight irritation and tastes sweet. Ethanol is flammable, and its vapor can form an explosive mixture with air.

1. As a chemical raw material: Used in the synthesis of chemical products such as ethyl acetate, ethylamine, ethylene glycol, etc., serving as an intermediate for organic synthesis.
2. In the solvent field: Used in coatings, inks, adhesives, cosmetics and other industries as a highly polar solvent to dissolve various organic substances.
3. In the pharmaceutical field: Used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, as well as disinfection and sterilization of medical devices (after dilution).
4. In the energy field: Used as a fuel additive (e.g., for ethanol gasoline) or as a fuel for fuel cells.
5. Other applications: Used as food additives (food grade), laboratory reagents, electronic component cleaning, etc.
