Frequently Asked Questions
What is 190 proof ethanol?
190 proof ethanol is 95% ethyl alcohol by volume — the practical maximum achievable through distillation, because ethanol and water form an azeotrope. It is the standard for beverage, pharmaceutical, personal care, extraction, and industrial applications.
Is Pristine 190 proof ethanol USP grade?
Our 190 proof non-denatured ethanol is produced to USP-equivalent purity standards, and our denatured products use denaturants conforming to USP and FCC specifications. Documentation is available with every lot.
Which denatured formula do I need?
SDA 40B suits personal care and cosmetics; SDA 3-A and 3-C suit industrial and chemical processing; reagent alcohol suits laboratories; CDA 12-A suits fuel and industrial uses with no TTB permit required. Our team can match your application to the right formula.
Are these formulas available in 200 proof?
Yes. Every denatured formula on this page — SDA 40-B, SDA 3-A, SDA 3-C, Reagent Alcohol, and CDA 12-A — is launching soon in 200 proof (under 0.5% water) for moisture-sensitive applications.
