Product Overview
Denatured Alcohol 190 Proof 3C is a high-purity Ethyl Alcohol solution engineered for rigorous industrial, manufacturing, and laboratory applications. This Formula 3C ethanol is denatured with Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) to render it chemically unsuitable for consumption while maintaining exceptional solvency and a predictable evaporation rate. With an assay range of 95% to 98% ethanol, this solvent is optimized for critical cleaning, chemical synthesis, and formulation processes.
As a versatile industrial solvent, Denatured Alcohol 190 Proof 3C offers a low boiling point and high volatility, making it ideal for applications requiring minimal residue. It is widely used in ink and coating formulations, chemical processing, and as a fuel additive component. The product meets strict quality control standards, including specific gravity and water content limits (max 0.5%), ensuring consistent performance across all pack sizes from quarts to bulk totes.

Safety Precautions
Denatured Alcohol 190 Proof 3C is a highly flammable liquid and vapor (H225). Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, open flames, and hot surfaces. Keep containers tightly closed and grounded to prevent static discharge. Use explosion-proof electrical, ventilating, and lighting equipment.
Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection, when handling. In the event of a spill, contain the release with non-combustible absorbent materials. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for comprehensive handling, storage, and emergency response guidelines. Hazardous shipping regulations apply.
