Denatured Alcohol 200 Proof 3C

Product Overview

Alliance Chemical provides Denatured Alcohol 200 Proof 3C as a high-purity solvent and fuel alternative tailored specifically for industrial manufacturing and laboratory synthesis. This specialized formula represents anhydrous ethyl alcohol that has been deliberately rendered unfit for human consumption through the addition of an authorized denaturant — specifically matching the 3C denaturing standard. This formulation is highly sought after across many sectors because it bypasses the beverage tax regulations associated with pure ethanol while maintaining the critical chemical properties essential for industrial chemical processing.

As an industry-standard solvent, this compound is indispensable for various extraction procedures, cleaning applications, and chemical synthesis pathways. It is widely utilized in the manufacturing of lacquers, varnishes, and other specialized coatings where water must be strictly excluded. By choosing our Denatured Alcohol 200 Proof 3C, industrial operators secure a dependable source of anhydrous alcohol that complies with rigorous supply chain standards. Alliance Chemical ensures that each batch is carefully monitored for quality, helping your facility maintain consistent production outcomes over long-term manufacturing runs.

Why This Grade

Choosing Denatured Alcohol 200 Proof 3C is essential when process requirements demand an absolute minimum of water content. Unlike 190 proof variants which contain roughly five percent water, the 200 proof designation signifies a completely anhydrous product. In moisture-sensitive chemical synthesis, even fractional percentages of water can ruin the reaction chemistry, leading to incomplete conversion or the formation of unwanted byproducts. For coatings, printing inks, and specialized solvent formulations, utilizing a non-anhydrous grade causes immediate phase separation, cloudiness, or curing failures during application.

Furthermore, the specific 3C denatured formulation is chosen over other denatured types when the presence of alternative denaturants would interfere with downstream processes. Selecting the incorrect denatured formulation can introduce chemical incompatibility into your system, resulting in compromised product stability or ruined raw materials. Utilizing the correct 200 Proof 3C ensures that your processing parameters remain within strict tolerances, avoiding costly batch rejections and production downtime. For these high-stakes applications, our customers trust Alliance Chemical to supply the precise chemical material specified for their systems.

Industrial Applications

• Coating and Lacquer Formulation: Used as a fast-evaporating solvent in the production of high-performance industrial coatings, shellacs, and varnishes to ensure uniform film formation.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Serves as a vital anhydrous reagent and medium in organic synthesis workflows where water must be completely excluded from the reaction vessel.
• Industrial Printing Inks: Utilized to adjust viscosity and drying times in commercial flexographic and gravure printing applications without compromising ink adhesion.
• Laboratory Solvent: Employed in analytical laboratories for sample preparation, extraction procedures, and equipment maintenance where residue-free evaporation is mandatory.
• Fuel and Burner Applications: Acts as a clean-burning fuel source in specialized industrial heating equipment and laboratory burners requiring high-heat output and minimal soot.

Hazmat & Shipping

Denatured Alcohol 200 Proof 3C is a highly flammable material and is classified as a hazardous substance under transport regulations. It is shipped under the proper shipping name "Alcohols, n.o.s. (Ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol)" with the UN number UN1987, classified under Hazard Class 3, and assigned to Packing Group II. The signal word for this chemical is Danger, reflecting its high flammability. This regulatory status means that all shipments must comply with strict DOT guidelines for hazardous materials.

Given its classification and the GHS hazard statement H225 (Highly flammable liquid and vapor), appropriate safety measures and personal protective equipment (PPE) are mandatory during transfer and handling. Operators must utilize static-dissipative clothing, safety glasses, and chemical-resistant gloves to mitigate ignition hazards and dermal exposure. All transfer operations must be fully grounded and bonded to prevent electrostatic discharge, and the work area must be equipped with adequate ventilation or explosion-proof exhaust systems. Additionally, emergency eyewash stations and safety showers must be accessible in areas where this solvent is handled, ensuring rapid response in the event of accidental exposure.

Handling & Storage

Keep this compound stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, open flames, hot surfaces, and other potential sources of ignition. Recommended storage temperatures should be kept within cool ambient limits, and the product must be kept in tightly closed, compatible containers such as steel, stainless steel, or approved high-density polyethylene (HDPE). This material is highly incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, acids, and alkali metals, which can cause violent reactions or increase the risk of fire.
