Ethanol is a crucial ingredient in many non-food sectors due to its favourable and diverse chemical properties: Its low freezing point makes washer fluid not freeze in cold temperatures, its chemical compounds make it a very effective solvent and binder, and its antimicrobacterial properties kill a wide array of bacteria and viruses.
Compared to food grade ethanol, ethanol for industrial applications is usually denatured, meaning that the ethanol is mixed with another chemical such as isopropyl alcohol or Bitrex to make it unfit for human consumption. That way, you avoid excess tax charged on food grade alcohol.
Ethanol is a crucial ingredient in hand sanitisers for its ability to kill bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Typically comprising 60-95% of the solution, it works by denaturing proteins and dissolving lipids, making it an effective and convenient tool for reducing the spread of infections when soap and water aren't available.
Ethanol is essential in perfumes as a solvent for dissolving fragrance ingredients. It ensures even scent distribution and quick evaporation, allowing the fragrance to release gradually and dry quickly on the skin.
As a key component in washer fluid, ethanol acts as an antifreeze to prevent the liquid from freezing in cold temperatures. It helps dissolve grime and bugs on the windshield, ensuring clear visibility while driving.
As a crucial ingredient in cleaning solutions, ethanol is effective at dissolving grime and killing bacteria and viruses. It evaporates quickly, leaving surfaces clean and streak-free, making it ideal for disinfecting and sanitizing various surfaces.
In aerosols, ethanol serves as both a solvent and propellant. It helps dissolve active ingredients and ensures they are evenly dispersed when sprayed, while also aiding in quick drying and leaving surfaces free of residue.
Ethanol is integral to paint solvents, ensuring uniform paint consistency and quick drying. It also enhances paint adherence for a durable finish.
In surgical spirits, ethanol acts as a disinfectant and antiseptic. It effectively kills bacteria and other microorganisms, making it essential for sterilizing skin and surfaces before medical procedures.
