Basic information

Absolute ethanol (Ethanol absolute), refers to the higher purity of ethanol aqueous solution, is a mixture of ethanol and water. In general, the concentration of 99.5 ethanol solution for absolute ethanol.

Application areas

Ethanol is an important organic solvent, which is widely used in medicine, coatings, sanitary products, cosmetics, oils and other aspects, accounting for about 50% of the total consumption of ethanol.

Ethanol is an important basic chemical raw material, used in the manufacture of acetaldehyde, ethylene, ethylamine, ethyl acetate, acetic acid, ethyl chloride, etc., and derived from medicine, dyes, coatings, spices, synthetic rubber, detergents, pesticides and other products Many intermediates, its products up to more than 300 kinds, the use of ethanol as an intermediate of chemical products is gradually declining, many products such as acetaldehyde and acetic acid no longer use ethanol as a raw material and are replaced by other raw materials.

75% ethanol aqueous solution has strong bactericidal ability, is commonly used disinfectant. Specially refined ethanol can also be used to make beverages. Similar to methanol, ethanol can be used as an energy source. Some countries have begun to use ethanol alone as automobile fuel or blended with gasoline (more than 10%) to save gasoline.

Packaging, transportation and safety

Operation Precautions:
Closed operation, full ventilation. Operators must be specially trained and strictly abide by the operating procedures. It is recommended that the operator wear a filtering gas mask (half mask) and anti-static overalls. Keep away from fire and heat sources. Smoking is strictly prohibited in the workplace. Use explosion-proof ventilation systems and equipment. Prevent vapor leakage into the workplace air. Avoid contact with oxidants, acids, alkali metals, amines. When filling, the flow rate should be controlled, and there is a grounding device to prevent static accumulation. Equipped with corresponding types and quantities of fire fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment. Empty containers may leave harmful substances.
 
Storage Precautions:
Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat source. The temperature of the warehouse should not exceed 30 ℃. Keep container sealed. It should be stored separately from oxidants, acids, alkali metals, amines, etc., and avoid mixed storage. Explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities shall be adopted. It is forbidden to use mechanical equipment and tools that are easy to produce sparks. The storage area should be equipped with leakage emergency treatment equipment and suitable containment materials.
