Alcohol for aerosol
At Nedstar, we are supplying high-quality anhydrous alcohol (99.9%) for aerosol products. Pure ethanol possesses properties that make it a perfect fit for aerosol applications: From personal care to household, automotive to industrial, ethanol-based aerosols offer versatile solutions for a wide range of industries.
What are aerosols?
In the broadest sense, aerosols are tiny particles suspended in a gas or air. They can be solid or liquid, range in size from a few nanometers to several micrometres in diameter, and be naturally occurring, such as dust, pollen, and sea salt particles. Ethanol, however, is involved particularly in particles for industrial use and processes, for example, combustion or aerosol sprays.
Using aerosol alcohol spray
When it comes to the combination of aerosols and alcohol, there are a few different contexts to consider:
Aerosol-based products containing ethanol
Many consumer goods, like spray paint, hair spray, and air fresheners, combine aerosols with anhydrous ethanol or isopropyl alcohol. The aerosol ensures even distribution and effective coverage.
Alcohol as a disinfectant in aerosol form
Ethanol is valued for its antimicrobial properties and can also be aerosolised for disinfection. In healthcare or sterile environments, aerosolised alcohol helps reach difficult areas and decontaminate surfaces efficiently.
Alcohol-based aerosol propellants
Some aerosol products utilise alcohol-based propellants, which assist in releasing the contents of the can. These propellants can contain alcohol, such as ethanol or isobutyl alcohol, along with other substances.
Nedstar's anhydrous alcohol for you aerosol products
With Nedstar's anhydrous alcohol, your aerosol products will offer reliable performance and even coverage.
Our team's expertise is at your service when it comes to choosing the right ethanol type, denaturants, and packaging options, all while keeping in mind our impact on people and planet.
Denaturants
Alcohol for aerosol-based products is often denatured. Denatured alcohol or denatured ethanol is ethyl alcohol made unfit for human consumption without chemically altering or decomposing it. Because it cannot be consumed, it tends to be subject to far lower tax rates. To create a denatured alcohol for cleaning products that fits your needs, we can customise it with your preferred combination of denaturants.
