What Is Ethanol?

Ethanol, also known as ethyl alcohol, is a clear, volatile, and flammable liquid that is produced through the fermentation of sugars derived from agricultural crops such as sugarcane, sugar beet, corn, wheat, or rye. It can also be created synthetically through petrochemical processes.

While “ethanol” and “ethyl alcohol” refer to the same chemical compound (C₂H₅OH), the term used often depends on the context. In food and beverage applications, it’s commonly referred to as ethyl alcohol, whereas in industrial and chemical use, ethanol is the standard term.

Ethanol is widely used across multiple industries:

As a base in alcoholic beverages (when food-grade certified)
As a solvent in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries
As a disinfectant in hygiene and healthcare
As a fuel additive or industrial solvent in chemical and technical production

Industrial Ethanol

Industrial ethanol, also known in certain applications as denatured ethanol or absolute ethanol, is commonly used as a solvent, fuel component, or cleaning agent in manufacturing, laboratories, and technical industries.

Sasma supplies industrial-grade ethanol in standard concentrations such as:

Ethanol 96%
Absolute Ethanol 99.9%
Denatured Ethanol (Euro-denatured, SDA formulations)

Industrial ethanol is created through the distillation and purification of fermented agricultural products or through synthetic production. Depending on its intended use, industrial ethanol may be denatured with additives to prevent human consumption.

Common uses include:

Paints, coatings, and varnishes
Pharmaceutical and cosmetic manufacturing
Cleaning agents and disinfectants
Chemical synthesis and extraction

We offer a range of ethanol grades for industrial applications, including:

Ethanol 96% from Grain
Ethanol 96% from Sugar Beet
Ethanol 99.9%

Food Grade Ethanol

In the food and beverage industry, ethanol is commonly referred to as ethyl alcohol and must meet food-grade or pharmaceutical-grade standards to ensure safety and purity.

Food-grade ethanol is used in:

Alcoholic beverage production
Flavor extraction and food coloring
Herbal tinctures and nutritional supplements
Natural preservatives and antimicrobial agents

Sasma supplies food-grade ethanol 96% made from grain, sugarcane, and other natural sources. It is certified for use in consumable products and is available in organic, non-GMO, and Kosher variants.

Other Applications

Ethanol also plays a key role in:

Pharmaceuticals: As an active ingredient in sanitizers, tinctures, and medicinal preparations
Cosmetics & Personal Care: As a carrier or solvent in perfumes, lotions, and hair products
Biofuels: As a renewable fuel additive blended with gasoline (especially in denatured form)

Each of these industries has specific quality and documentation requirements, which Sasma fulfills with certified, traceable sourcing and international compliance.
