Ethanol for the chemical industry
Ethanol is a trusted raw material and solvent across chemical production. We support manufacturers with:
-
consistent, high-purity industrial ethanol
-
tailored specifications for coatings, inks, adhesives, resins and household chemicals
-
denatured solutions compliant with your local regulations
-
second-generation ethanol options for more sustainable formulations
With extensive experience in ethanol for chemical applications, we help you select the right grade and denaturant for your application.
Ethanol for fuel and energy
Ethanol plays a key role in the transition to lower-carbon fuels. Nedstar supports fuel blenders and energy companies with:
-
anhydrous ethanol for gasoline blending
-
2G ethanol for advanced biofuels
-
bulk volumes for large-scale energy applications
Our global network ensures reliable supply and compliant documentation for every market.
Ethanol & IPA for electronics
Electronics production requires ultra-clean, fast-evaporating solvents. Our high-purity ethanol and IPA are ideal for:
-
PCB and component cleaning
-
removing flux and production residues
-
surface preparation before coating or bonding
Where needed, we supply regulated denatured options that meet both local legislation and internal safety requirements.
Diethyl phthalate
Diethyl phthalate (DEP) is a phthalate ester. It occurs as a colourless liquid without significant odour but has a bitter, disagreeable taste.
Euro denatured
Euro denaturant is a combination of MEK, IPA and Bitrex. It is a valued option in Europe because it is recognised by all European member states.
Isopropyl
Isopropyl (IPA) is a colourless, flammable chemical compound with a strong odour. It is used in the manufacture of a wide variety of industrial and household chemicals like handsanitizer or cleaning.
Bitrex
Bitrex, also known as denatonium benzoate, is the most bitter chemical compound known, with bitterness thresholds of 0.05 ppm, where 10 ppm is unbearably bitter for most humans.
TSDA
Trade Specific Denatured Alcohol (TSDA) formulations are types of denatured alcohol approved to meet specific trade needs or approved uses.
Methyl ethyl ketone
Butanone, also known as methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), is a colourless organic compound. Ketone has a sharp, sweet odour reminiscent of acetone.
Rigorous product validation
Quality starts at the source. Every ethanol supplier we work with undergoes a strict onboarding process, including certification checks and detailed product testing. Only producers who consistently meet our high purity, safety and sustainability requirements become long-term partners in our sourcing network.
Testing & quality monitoring
Before ethanol is added to our portfolio — whether ENA, anhydrous, organic or 2G — our Quality team performs in-depth evaluations to verify purity, consistency and compliance with market specifications. Throughout the year, we carry out regular batch checks and distribution reviews to identify and mitigate any potential risks before the product reaches your operations.
Dedicated quality support
From regulatory documentation and custom specifications, our Quality and Commercial teams ensure your ethanol is delivered safely, compliantly and exactly as expected. If questions arise, we offer fast, expert assistance: from analysing test results to guiding you through market-specific requirements.
IBC tote
Mid-sized shipments; our stackable IBC totes are widely used by companies across Europe, the US, and Asia for their efficiency and reliability.
ISO container
Our ISO tanks support intermodal transport by sea, rail, and road. They are ideal for companies sourcing in medium to large volumes.
Tanktruck
Our tank trucks are widely used across Europe to deliver bulk ethanol by road. They’re a practical option for regional transport and quick distribution.
