Flammable Ethanol Uses

Ethanol is a very versatile product and can be used in a variety of applications. It is an effective solvent in the paints, lacquers and varnish industry. You will also find that it is found in a lot of cosmetics such as toners and makeup brush cleaners. It can be used as a window cleaner, spray and wipe disinfectant, and a steriliser.

Ethanol 99% vs. Ethanol 70%

Ethanol 99% is more suited to cleaning type applications when a quick evaporation rate is required. Where as ethanol 70% is also known as rubbing alcohol, that can be used on the skin to disinfect and kill bacteria. The difference is the moisture content and the strength of the alcohol. The higher the strength the more it will flash off but in the circumstance when you need to kill bacteria, sometimes the 70% works better as it has longer surface time, therefore, more time to kill the germs.

If you are looking for a quick surface disinfectant and equipment cleaner then our 70% Ethanol would be suitable. Can also be used as it comes directly on the skin as a sanitiser but may over time cause dryness. If you are looking to use on the skin we suggest purchasing 99% ethanol to use in your formula or purchasing our ready made hand sanitiser.
