About Ethanol

Ethanol (ethyl alcohol, C₂H₅OH) is a clear, volatile alcohol produced by fermentation or synthetic routes and refined to solvent- or extraction-grade purity. It is fully miscible with water and most organic solvents, which makes it a workhorse carrier and extraction medium across the hemp, pharmaceutical, coatings, and cleaning industries.

Superior Chemical Co. stocks ethanol in the blends most requested by industrial buyers: CDA-12A (a 95% ethanol / 5% heptane denatured blend), SDA-40B and SDA-3C (190-proof denatured formulations), and 200-proof non-denatured ethanol for applications where an undenatured product is required.

Common industrial uses

  • Botanical and hemp/CBD extraction solvent
  • Pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulation base
  • Industrial cleaning and degreasing
  • Coatings, inks, and adhesive solvent systems
  • Fuel and combustion applications

Frequently asked
What's the difference between denatured and undenatured ethanol?
Denatured ethanol (like SDA-40B or CDA-12A) has a small amount of another substance added, such as heptane, to make it unfit for beverage use, which allows it to be sold without beverage alcohol excise tax. Undenatured 200-proof ethanol has no additive and is used where purity requirements or downstream processing rule out denaturants.
Which ethanol grade is best for hemp extraction?
Most extraction operations request either 200-proof undenatured ethanol or a food-grade-adjacent denatured blend, depending on state licensing and end-product requirements. Superior Chemical Co. can help match the grade to your permit and process.
What container sizes are available?
Ethanol ships in 55-gallon drums, 275-gallon totes, 7,700-gallon tankers, or 28,500-gallon railcars, depending on volume needs.
