Overview

Product information

Ethanol is a two-carbon alcohol used as a solvent, chemical intermediate and formulation component. It is a clear, volatile and highly flammable liquid that mixes completely with water.

Commercial ethanol varies significantly by water content, denaturing status and regulatory grade. The supplied inventory states “95% / 99% Absolute.” This wording is ambiguous because absolute ethanol normally denotes a specifically dehydrated low-water product rather than any generic 99% material. Hamara should confirm the exact concentrations, water limits and whether each product is denatured or non-denatured.

General guidance

Handling and storage

Ethanol SDS information identifies a highly flammable liquid and vapour. Keep away from ignition sources, provide suitable ventilation and use appropriate eye and skin protection. Store in tightly closed containers in approved flammable-liquid storage. Denatured and high-purity grades can contain different components, so the exact product SDS must govern final handling information.
