Ethanol (also called ethyl alcohol, grain alcohol, drinking alcohol, or simply alcohol) is an organic chemical compound. It is a simple alcohol with the chemical formula C2H6O. Its formula can be also written as CH3−CH2−OH or C2H5OH (an ethyl group linked to a hydroxyl group), and is often abbreviated as EtOH. Ethanol is a volatile, flammable, colorless liquid with a characteristic wine-like odor and pungent taste. It is a psychoactive drug, recreational drug, and the active ingredient in alcoholic drinks.
Ethanol is naturally produced by the fermentation of sugars by yeasts or via petrochemical processes such as ethylene hydration. It has medical applications as an antiseptic and disinfectant. It is used as a chemical solvent and in the synthesis of organic compounds. Ethanol is a fuel source.

1. Used as a disinfectant.
2. Used as beverage products, ethanol is the main ingredient of wine.
3. Used as organic raw materials Ethanol is also a basic organic chemical raw material, which can be used to produce chemical raw materials such as acetaldehyde, ether, ethyl acetate, ethylamine, etc. It is also a raw material for producing solvents, dyes, coatings, detergents and other products.
4. Used as automobile fuel Ethanol can be used as a fuel for automobiles, or it can be mixed with gasoline as a mixed fuel
Applications:
Ethyl Alcohol is the alcohol found in alcoholic drinks such as beer, brandy, or whiskey. It is made from the fermentation or chemical
breakdown of sugars by yeasts.
Alcohol is commonly used in the medical field as an antiseptic and as a disinfectant. Medical wipes and antibacterial hand sanitizers
have alcohol to help prevent the spreading of bacteria in hospitals and related facilities. Alcohol is also used to sterilize the skin before
injections. Hospitals and medical clinics use alcohol to sterilize various medical equipment before and after use.
Ethyl Alcohol can be safely used as a solvent for different products such as culinary extracts, essential oils, tinctures, and concentrates.
Using Food Grade Ethyl Alcohol will minimize the impurities that can contaminate your extracts and tinctures.
Solvent
Ethanol is considered a universal solvent, as its molecular structure allows for the dissolving of both polar, hydrophilic and nonpolar, hydrophobic compounds. As ethanol also has a low boiling point, it is easy to remove from a solution that has been used to dissolve other compounds, making it a popular extracting agent for botanical oils. Cannabis oil extraction methods often use ethanol as an extraction solvent, and also as a post-processing solvent to remove oils, waxes, and chlorophyll from solution in a process known as winterization.
Medicinal solvent
Ethanol, often in high concentrations, is used to dissolve many water-insoluble medications and related compounds. Liquid preparations of pain medications, cough and cold medicines, and mouth washes, for example, may contain up to 25% ethanol and may need to be avoided in individuals with adverse reactions to ethanol such as alcohol-induced respiratory reactions. Ethanol is present mainly as an antimicrobial preservative in over 700 liquid preparations of medicine including acetaminophen, iron supplements, ranitidine, furosemide, mannitol, phenobarbital, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole and over-the-counter cough medicine.
Usage:
1.Important organic solvents.
2.Important basic chemical raw materials.
3.Chemical product intermediates,etc.
Uses of Ethanol
Ethanol is used in alcoholic beverages, solvents, scents, flavourings, colouring, medicines, chemical synthesis, and thermometers.
Ethanol is used as a fuel an excellent solvent and an important raw material for making other chemicals.
Pure ethanol is toxic liquid, methanol which is even more toxic is sometimes added to it to put off anyone wanting to drink it.
A mixture of ethanol and methanol is known as methylated spirits or sometimes ‘meths’ used in camping stoves.
Used as a raw material for making esters which in turn used as solvents in food flavouring, and in the manufacture of cosmetics.
Vinegar a weak solution of ethanoic acid is produced from ethanol by a biochemical process. It involves oxidation caused by bacteria called acetobacter.
