FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 190 proof ethanol?+
190 proof ethanol is 95% pure ethyl alcohol by volume. It is the highest concentration achievable through standard distillation and is widely used in beverage production, pharmaceutical manufacturing, food flavoring and extraction, fragrance compounding, and laboratory applications. Pristine Alcohol’s 190 proof product is among the purest available in the United States, produced on 100% stainless steel equipment for zero metallic contamination.
What is the difference between denatured and non-denatured ethanol?+
Non-denatured ethanol is pure ethyl alcohol with no additives, suitable for human consumption, pharmaceutical use, and food applications. Denatured ethanol has small amounts of denaturing agents added to make it undrinkable, which exempts it from certain excise taxes. Our SDA 40B is a denatured formulation specifically designed for personal care, cosmetics, and industrial applications.
What industries does Pristine Alcohol serve?+
We serve beverage and spirits producers, pharmaceutical manufacturers, food flavor and fragrance companies, personal care and cosmetics producers, cannabis and hemp extraction companies, and laboratory and industrial solvent users. Our ethanol meets USP and FCC specifications to satisfy the most demanding quality requirements across all of these sectors.
Can you produce custom ethanol formulations?+
Yes. We offer custom blends and formulations including both previously approved TTB formulas and new formulas that can be applied for approval. Our team of scientists, chemists, and engineers works directly with customers, maintains low minimum order quantities, and all work is done on-site at our 65-acre Marysville, Michigan facility.
Why does stainless steel equipment matter for ethanol purity?+
Most ethanol plants use carbon steel, which introduces trace metal contamination — iron, manganese, and other compounds that affect taste, odor, and analytical purity. Pristine Alcohol uses 100% stainless steel from start to finish, eliminating this contamination vector entirely and producing a cleaner, more neutral product that requires less post-processing.
What does USP and FCC grade mean?+
USP (United States Pharmacopeia) grade meets strict purity standards required for pharmaceutical use. FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) grade meets standards for food and beverage applications. Pristine Alcohol produces ethanol that can meet both specifications depending on customer requirements, giving our clients maximum flexibility.
