Zenthol Industrial Denatured Alcohol
Zenthol Industrial Denatured Alcohol
Overview
Zenthol Industrial Denatured Alcohol (IDA) is a chemically modified ethyl alcohol formulated specifically for industrial and non-consumable applications. Manufactured by Zenith Bio Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd., this product is a cost-effective and regulatory-compliant ethanol variant used in a wide range of sectors such as paints and coatings, cleaning products, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing. Denatured to make it unfit for human consumption, it retains the solvent and antimicrobial properties of ethanol while complying with excise norms.
What Is Denatured Alcohol?
Denatured alcohol is ethanol that has been mixed with additives such as methanol, acetone, isopropyl alcohol, or other substances to render it toxic, foul-smelling, or nauseating if ingested. This process allows the alcohol to be used tax-free for industrial purposes.
Manufacturing Process
Zenthol Industrial Denatured Alcohol is derived from high-purity rectified spirit, which is then subjected to precise denaturing formulations based on its intended industrial application. At Zenith, we offer both general-purpose denatured alcohol and custom formulations as per client requirements or regulatory conditions.
Applications Across Industries
Paints and Coatings:
Acts as a powerful solvent for shellacs, varnishes, and resins. It helps in thinning coatings and cleaning paint tools.Cleaning Agents and Disinfectants:
Used in the formulation of glass cleaners, surface sanitizers, and degreasing agents due to its high evaporation rate and antiseptic properties.Pharmaceutical Industry:
Employed in the manufacturing of topical applications like rubs, sprays, and medical wipes.Printing Industry:
