ALCOHOL PRODUCTS
Pure Alcohol
Pure alcohol, also known as absolute alcohol or anhydrous alcohol, refers to ethanol that is completely free of water or other impurities. It is typically produced through processes such as distillation or chemical dehydration, resulting in a highly concentrated ethanol solution. Pure alcohol is often used in laboratory settings, industrial applications, and as a solvent for manufacturing pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and perfumes.
CAUTION! Due to its potency, pure alcohol should be handled with caution as it is extremely flammable and can cause irritation or damage if it comes into contact with skin or mucous membranes.

Usage Ideas
Pure alcohol is commonly used in laboratory settings for various purposes, such as extracting compounds, dissolving substances, or preparing solutions for experiments. Its high purity ensures accurate and reliable results in scientific research and analytical chemistry.
Pure alcohol can be used in the production of fruit-flavored liqueurs such as limoncello as the high alcohol content helps to extract the flavors and aromas from fruit. It’s important to note that pure alcohol is highly concentrated and can be dangerous if consumed undiluted. Therefore, it must be properly diluted with water and sweeteners before being consumed as part of a liqueur like limoncello.
Pure alcohol serves as a key ingredient in the production of pharmaceutical products, including medications, disinfectants, and antiseptics. It is used as a solvent for dissolving active ingredients, as well as a preservative to ensure the stability and shelf-life of pharmaceutical formulations. Additionally, pure alcohol is a common base for preparing herbal extracts used in traditional and alternative medicine practices.
