Description

General description

Ethanol (EMPLURA^® grade product) is ideal for numerous basic applications, such as preparative lab work, cleaning, or standard production processes.

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product is Biorenewable and alternative to petrochemical solvents. Ethanol is environmentally preferable green solvent and thus it aligns with "Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries" and "Use of Renewable Feedstocks". Click here  for more information.

Features and Benefits

This bioethanol is a suitable choice for a sustainable future because of its high quality, affordability, and ready availability.     

• It is produced from grain or sugarcane, a renewable source
• Less toxic than synthetic ethanol (no toxic by-products)     
• The production method is safer for the environment
