Absolute ethanol, also known as pure ethyl alcohol, is a versatile chemical essential for laboratories and industrial applications. Its high purity makes it ideal for research, solvent applications, and chemical synthesis. While it shares the intoxicating properties of alcoholic beverages, absolute ethanol is not intended for consumption and can be hazardous if ingested, causing central nervous system depression and potential long-term organ damage.ReAgent’s Commitment to Quality
