Denatured Ethanol 96% Industrial

Denatured Ethanol 96% Industrial (CAS 64-17-5, molecular formula C2H6O) is a workhorse solvent across coatings, cleaning and process manufacture, valued for its predictable evaporation behaviour and consistent purity from batch to batch. China Chemicals supplies it at 96% v/v in pack sizes from 1 L through to 200 L Drum, so laboratory trial quantities and full production volumes can be sourced from the same specification.

It is also traded as Ethyl Alcohol, Denatured Alcohol, IMS. Every consignment ships with a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis and the current Safety Data Sheet, and material is stored and picked under stock rotation so you receive product well inside its shelf life.

Typical applications

Sanitiser and disinfectant manufacture
Solvent in shellac, lacquer and wood finishes
Printing ink and flexographic press wash
Extraction solvent in botanical and flavour processing
Fuel additive and burner fuel
