Ethanol for chemical applications

Ethanol is a key ingredient across the chemical sector, used in everything from surface disinfectants and industrial coatings to inks, adhesives, and aerosols. Nedstar can deliver the right ethanol product, purity level, and denaturant mix to support your formulation and production processes.

Our ethanol is sourced from trusted producers and tailored for chemical-grade performance, with full documentation and global delivery. Whether you're producing high-performance coatings or regulated cleaning agents, we ensure quality, consistency, and compliance every step of the way.

Industries and applications we serve

We deliver ethanol solutions trusted by chemical manufacturers around the world for:

Disinfectants and sanitisers

Ethanol is a key active in hand sanitisers and surface disinfectants due to its rapid evaporation and antimicrobial power. We supply both denatured and undenatured ethanol to meet regulatory needs.

Cleaning products

Ethanol effectively dissolves grease and residues in both domestic and industrial cleaners. It’s a safer, low-toxicity alternative to harsher solvents, ideal for eco-friendly formulations.

Sprays and aerosols

In sprays and aerosols, ethanol acts as a fast-drying solvent and carrier, improving delivery in air fresheners, deodorants, disinfectants, and cleaning aerosols.

Solvent for paints and coatings

Used as a solvent, ethanol improves drying, dissolves key components, and stabilises paint and coating formulations, from varnishes to industrial finishes.

Printing inks

Ethanol offers excellent solvency and fast drying in flexographic and gravure inks, enabling clean application and reduced smudging, especially for food packaging.

Adhesives

Ethanol supports viscosity control and polymer blending in adhesives, making it suitable for industrial glues and packaging applications.

Bio-based chemicals made from ethanol

In addition to high-quality ethanol, Nedstar also offers a growing portfolio of bio-based drop-in chemicals, including bio acetaldehyde, bio acetic acid, and bio ethyl acetate. 

Traditionally produced from fossil fuels, these essential compounds can now be sourced from bioethanol. By switching to these sustainable alternatives, you can reduce your product’s carbon footprint without altering your existing chemical processes. 

Why choose Nedstar

Nedstar delivers high-quality ethanol with consistent, on-time supply and seamless global logistics. We offer a full-service solution, from sourcing to delivery, and our sustainably sourced products meet the strictest quality and regulatory standards. We’re more than a supplier, we’re your trusted partner.

Industrial alcohol certifications

To guarantee the quality of our products, Nedstar operates under strict quality standards and certifications. Depending on your preferences, we can procure ethanol that is organically certified, kosher, or according to any other industrial standards.

Denaturant options

When you do not use ethanol for food and beverage grade products, we can denature it for you. In that case, the product will be exempt from excise duty. You can choose from a variety of denaturing agents that fit your regional regulations, such as DEP, MEK, Bitrex, IPA or Euro Denatured.
