Denatured Alcohol 200 Proof 3A

Product Overview

Denatured Alcohol 200 Proof 3A is a high-purity ethanol solution formulated for industrial and analytical applications. This Technical Grade solvent provides excellent solvency, low water content, and favorable physical properties that support reliable performance in manufacturing processes. The assay typically targets 99.7 wt% ethanol with minimal water (<0.02 wt% typical), enabling precise formulation and consistent results in HPLC mobile phases, extractions, and critical cleaning applications. The material is supplied as a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic alcoholic odor.

This 200 Proof ethanol is commonly used as a solvent in analytical, laboratory, and industrial settings due to its miscibility with water and most organic solvents. Its low aldehyde content supports reliable quality control in sensitive workflows. This product is suitable for use under inert atmosphere where applicable to minimize oxidation. It aligns with established industry practices for denatured ethanol products used in solvent-based formulations, coatings, and surface preparation.

Safety Precautions

Handling of Denatured Alcohol 200 Proof 3A should be conducted in well-ventilated areas with appropriate containment to manage flammable vapors. Store in cool, well-ventilated spaces away from heat sources, with containers made of HDPE or glass. Keep away from strong oxidizers and acids; wear proper PPE including chemical-resistant gloves and safety goggles. Keep away from open flames and sparks, and implement grounding and bonding when transferring to minimize static ignition risk.

Transportation is described as UN 1170, Ethanol, Class 3, PG II. Emergency procedures should align with local regulations and GHS hazard communication requirements.
