General description

EMSURE grade solvents are suitable for a broad spectrum of classical lab applications, and are frequently used in regulated and highly demanding lab applications. EMSURE provides worldwide best and most extensive product specifications. We declare our EMSURE range to be in compliance with the ACS, with the reagent part of the European Pharmacopoeia (Reag. Ph Eur) and also with the ISO standards.

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product is Biorenewable and alternative to petrochemical solvents. Ethanol is environmentally preferable green solvent and thus it aligns with "Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries" and "Use of Renewable Feedstocks". Click here  for more information.

Application

Ethanol has been used as a solvent in the synthesis of Pd/SiO2 xerogel catalysts for hydrodechlorination of dichloroethane.[1]

Features and Benefits

Our bioethanol is an obvious choice for a sustainable future because of its high quality, affordability, and ready availability.      

• It is produced from grain or sugar cane, a renewable source
• Less toxic than synthetic ethanol (no toxic by-products)
• Reliable availability      
• Production method is safer for the environment
