Ethanol (Ethyl Alcohol, CAS 64-17-5) is a clear, volatile, flammable organic alcohol with a pleasant characteristic odor. It is widely recognized as one of the most versatile solvents and antimicrobial agents in industrial chemistry.
In East Africa, 96% Ethanol is extensively utilized for hand sanitizer production, pharmaceutical tinctures, botanical oil extraction, printing ink formulation, and hospital surface disinfection.
Kiki's Industrial Chemicals Ltd supplies fully licensed, high-purity Denatured Ethanol and Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA 96%) in 20L Jerrycans and 200L Steel/HDPE Drums, adhering to all Kenyan regulatory standards.
Ethanol 96% acts as a potent antimicrobial agent by rapidly denaturing microbial proteins and dissolving lipid cell membranes.
As a solvent, Ethanol forms hydrogen bonds readily, dissolving a wide spectrum of polar and non-polar resins, essential oils, and organic synthesis intermediates.
