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.
