Industrial-grade ethanol is a versatile, high-purity alcohol solution designed for industrial use. At Nedstar, we act as your full-service sourcing and logistics partner – from certification and denaturing to packaging and global delivery.
Why choose industrial-grade ethanol?
Industrial ethanol is typically characterised by:
-
Denatured status for non-food applications, making it exempt from excise duty in many markets.
-
Broad applications across solvents, cleaning agents, aerosols, fuels, hygiene & pharmaceutical sectors.
Our alcohol is suitable for both internal and external pharmaceutical applications, providing unmatched consistency, safety, and quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between food-grade and industrial-grade ethanol?
Industrial-grade ethanol is specifically formulated for non-food applications. It often includes denaturing agents that make it unfit for human consumption and is designed to meet regulatory and industrial performance standards rather than food-safety standards.
Which industries commonly use industrial-grade ethanol?
Common industries include: construction (paint/solvent), cleaning and hygiene (aerosols, washer fluid), pharmaceutical & medical (disinfectants, surgical spirits), fuel & energy (bio-ethanol blends), chemicals and specialty formulations.
Can Nedstar supply ethanol with sustainability credentials or organic certification?
Yes. We source industrial ethanol from suppliers with certifications such as organic, kosher or other standards. We also prioritise low-carbon feedstocks and traceable supply chains aligned with sustainability goals.
How quickly can I get a quote and delivery schedule?
