Zenthol Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA)
Overview
Zenthol Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA) produced by Zenith Bio Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. is a premium-grade ethyl alcohol that has undergone extensive purification processes to eliminate impurities and unwanted odours. Known for its crystal-clear appearance, neutral aroma, and high ethanol content (typically around 96% v/v), this alcohol serves as a key ingredient across several industries due to its versatility, safety, and consistency in formulation.
Production and Purification
ENA is derived from fermented molasses or grains through a series of distillation and rectification steps. At Zenith, we employ advanced multi-column distillation technology to produce ENA of the highest purity. The result is a spirit free of contaminants, fusel oils, and undesirable esters, meeting strict BIS and export standards.
Applications
Zenthol ENA finds its primary application in the following sectors:
-
Pharmaceuticals: Used as a solvent in medicinal formulations such as tinctures, cough syrups, antiseptics, and sanitizers.
-
Cosmetics and Personal Care: Acts as a base in perfumes, deodorants, hair sprays, and aftershaves where a non-reactive and non-odorous alcohol is essential.
-
Beverage Industry: Utilized as the raw spirit in the production of Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL), vodka, gin, and other alcoholic beverages after flavoring and aging.
-
Chemical Industry: Serves as a raw material in esterification and etherification processes.
-
Paints and Coatings: Used as a solvent due to its fast evaporation rate and compatibility with resins.
