Description

General description

Ethanol (EMPLURA^® grade product) is ideal for numerous basic applications, such as preparative lab work, cleaning, or standard production processes.

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product is Biorenewable and alternative to petrochemical solvents. Ethanol is environmentally preferable green solvent and thus it aligns with "Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries" and "Use of Renewable Feedstocks". Click here  for more information.

Application

• Effects of ethanol or ethylene glycol exposure on PPAR gamma and aromatase expression in adipose tissue.: This study explores the biochemical effects of ethanol exposure on protein expressions impacting metabolic pathways in adipose tissues, highlighting its analytical application in understanding chemical interactions within biological systems (Vogel et al., 2024).


• Advancing ethanol content determination in hydrogels: non-destructive and operational methods for health and criminal inspections.: Focuses on non-destructive techniques for determining ethanol content in hydrogels, critical for applications in healthcare monitoring and forensic analysis, offering insights into ethanols role in public health and safety (de O Morais et al., 2024).


• The gastroprotective effect of Yucca filamentosa standardized crude leaves extract versus its nano-cubosomal formulation in ethanol-induced gastric injury.: Investigates the protective effects of plant extracts against ethanol-induced gastric damage, utilizing ethanol as a tool for studying therapeutic responses and formulation efficacy in clinical biochemistry settings (Hammad et al., 2024).


• Atomic Layer Deposition of TiO(2) on Si Window Enables In Situ ATR-SEIRAS Measurements in Strong Alkaline Electrolytes.: Describes the enhancement of spectroscopic measurements through the atomic layer deposition of TiO2, facilitated by ethanol processes, improving analytical methodologies in chemically aggressive environments (Cai et al., 2024).

Features and Benefits

This bioethanol is a suitable choice for a sustainable future because of its high quality, affordability, and ready availability.     

• It is produced from grain or sugarcane, a renewable source
• Less toxic than synthetic ethanol (no toxic by-products)     
• The production method is safer for the environment
