Ethanol 200 Proof (100%) Undenatured Alcohol, USP/FCC Food Grade, Kosher, Halal

Ethanol 200 Proof (100%) Undenatured Alcohol, USP/FCC Food Grade, Kosher, Halal

Unlike the FCC and USP monograms which regulate based on the purity of the final product, Kosher certification is concerned with every part of the processing and sourcing. As most ethanol is fermented and distilled from grain, sugar cane or corn without use of animal materials, Kosher-compliance is not very difficult to obtain.

Beyond the traditional roles of ethanol in food production, Kosher food grade ethanol can be used as an alternative solvent in cases where it is impossible to modify the traditional processing to make it Kosher.

Ethanol 200 Proof (100%) Undenatured Alcohol (CAS 64-17-5, C2H5OH, molecular weight 46.07) is anhydrous ethyl alcohol that meets USP/FCC (Food) Grade requirements. It is certified Kosher (Kosher ID ZDQ-ZVZT) and Halal, GMO-free, vegan, and Generally Recognized as Safe under 21 CFR 184.1293. It is 199.0–200.0 proof, with ethanol min 99.5%, methanol max 200 ppm, and non-volatile residue max 2.5 mg. It is a clear, colorless liquid, fully miscible in water, with a density of 0.785 g/mL at 25°C and a flash point of 14.0°C (57.2°F). The Product Manuals tab holds the SDS, Technical Data Sheet, lot Certificates of Analysis, Kosher and Halal certificates, and statements covering GRAS, CGMP, elemental impurities, nitrosamines, allergens, BPA, PFAS/PFOS, and TSE/BSE.

Extraction labs, flavor makers, formulators, and QC labs use 200 proof ethanol when water can't be part of the process: botanical extraction, flavor and fragrance work, cosmetic formulations, and solvent and reagent use. The usual problems are water or impurities creeping into the result, documents that don't satisfy an auditor, and suppliers who can't move a flammable liquid in the container you need.

Q: What is Ethanol 200 Proof Undenatured Alcohol used for? A: It is used for botanical and herbal extraction, food processing and flavor extracts, fragrance and cosmetic formulations, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical processing, and as a laboratory solvent and reagent.

Q: What does USP/FCC (Food) Grade mean? A: It means the ethanol meets United States Pharmacopeia and Food Chemicals Codex requirements, so it can be used in pharmaceutical and food applications. The CGMP statement, Food Grade Statement, and GRAS document are in the Product Manuals tab.

Q: What is the difference between 200 proof and 190 proof ethanol? A: 200 proof ethanol is anhydrous, with ethanol min 99.5%, while 190 proof ethanol contains a small amount of water. Use 200 proof when water would interfere with your process. Other strengths are in the Undenatured Ethanol category .

Q: Is this ethanol denatured? A: No. It is undenatured ethanol with no denaturants added.

Q: Is it Kosher and Halal certified? A: Yes. It is certified Kosher (Kosher ID ZDQ-ZVZT) and Halal, and it is GMO-free and vegan. Both certificates are in the Product Manuals tab.

Q: What sizes are available, and does it ship as hazmat? A: It comes in 1 pint (poly or glass), 500 mL, 1 L, 1 gallon, 4 L (glass or poly), 5 gallon (poly or metal), 55 gallon (including metal drums), and 270 gallon sizes, in cases, and in pallet quantities. It ships as a DOT Class 3 flammable liquid, and a hazmat fee applies.

Q: How should it be stored and disposed of? A: Keep it tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames, and follow the SDS. For disposal, see How to Safely Dispose of Ethanol.

Q: How do I get the SDS and Certificate of Analysis? No request is needed.
