Ethanol is a clear, no color, liquid rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and distributed throughout the body. It has bactericidal activity and is used often as a topical disinfectant.

uses

  1. Ethanol is used because of the low freezing point in the anti-icing industry.
  2. The solvent is very good and it is used in the perfume industry, paint and more.
  3. A solution of 85% to 70% is used as an antiseptic solution.
  4. Ethanol eliminates the microorganisms by changing the protein and dissolving the fat. Of course, this action only works against bacteria and viruses and fungi, but it does not affect bacteria.
