Products & Quality
We supply five grades of high-quality ethanol:
- Anhydrous Ethanol >99.8% - Pharmaceutical/USP/BP grade for pharmaceutical and perfume industries
- Hydrous ENA >96.1% - Extra Neutral Alcohol for pharmaceutical, perfume, and industrial applications
- Industrial Grade >95% - For chemical synthesis, coatings, and manufacturing
- Ethanol B Grade >92% - Cost-effective option for industrial applications
- Fusel Oil - For solvents, flavouring agents for perfumes and spirits, fuel, and more.
Each grade is suited for specific applications based on purity requirements and industry standards.
Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA) is highly purified ethanol with minimal impurities. It's odorless, colorless, and taste-neutral, making it perfect for pharmaceutical, perfume, and cosmetic applications where purity is critical.
Our ENA products comply with USP/BP standards and are ideal for applications requiring the highest quality alcohol base.
Anhydrous Ethanol (>99.8%):
- Contains less than 0.2% water
- Required for water-sensitive applications
- Essential for certain pharmaceuticals and perfumes
- Higher cost due to additional processing
Hydrous Ethanol (>96.1%):
- Contains 3-4% water content
- More economical than anhydrous
- Suitable for most applications where minimal water doesn't affect the process
- Widely used in cosmetics, tinctures, and industrial applications
