At Nedstar, we’re proud to introduce bio acetaldehyde to our growing portfolio of sustainable, bio-based ingredients. Also known as ethanal or CH3CHO, acetaldehyde is a colourless, flammable liquid used in everything from fragrances to solvents, and now, thanks to bioethanol, it can be made more sustainably than ever.
Wondering what acetaldehyde is used for and how it’s produced? Keep reading to discover how this product can support your business.
Acetaldehyde (chemical formula: CH3CHO) is a chemical intermediate in many industrial processes. As one of the simplest aldehydes, it’s widely used in the manufacture of perfumes, plastics, flavours, and pharmaceutical compounds due to its high reactivity, volatility, and ability to easily bond with other molecules during chemical synthesis.
Our bio acetaldehyde is derived from bioethanol. This gives it a significantly smaller environmental footprint than traditional petrochemical-based options, making it an excellent fit for companies looking to align with global sustainability goals.

Nedstar’s acetaldehyde production from ethanol relies on catalytic oxidation, a cleaner, greener alternative to fossil-based manufacturing.
In this process, bioethanol (made from crops like sugarcane or corn) reacts with oxygen over a catalyst, producing acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) and water. This method is energy-efficient and significantly reduces harmful emissions, supporting more sustainable chemical production.
With the growing demand for sustainable alternatives, bio-based acetaldehyde products are now preferred across many applications. The uses of acetaldehyde include:
Plastics & resins
Acts as a building block for synthetic materials and polymers.
Pharmaceuticals
Used in the production of vitamins, sedatives, and disinfectants for the pharma industry.
Solvents & dyes
An important intermediate in manufacturing lacquers, paints, and dyes.
Flavours & fragrances
Provides fruity notes in food flavourings and perfumery.
As a reliable supplier of bio-based acetaldehyde, Nedstar delivers more than just quality products: we offer a partnership grounded in transparency, efficiency, and innovation.
Our alcohol is always REACH and ECHA Art. 95 certified. In addition, the product can be certified as organic, Kosher and GMO-free. More information can be found on our certifications page.
Let’s work together
Our bio acetaldehyde is produced from renewable ethanol instead of fossil fuels. By using plant-based feedstocks and employing energy-efficient catalytic oxidation, we help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support circular, low-impact production systems.
By sourcing acetaldehyde from ethanol, you’re reducing reliance on petrochemicals and supporting more climate-conscious raw materials. This switch can reduce the climate impact of your raw materials by up to 50%, supporting your ESG reporting, carbon reduction targets, and long-term sustainability strategy.
Absolutely. Our commercial and logistics teams work hand-in-hand to tailor every shipment to your requirements, whether that’s specific lead times, incoterms, documentation, or packaging formats.
We ship globally, with a strong presence in Europe, Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East. Whether you’re a multinational manufacturer or a regional distributor, we have the expertise and network to deliver wherever you are in the world.
