Pure Ethanol 200 Proof is 100% pure (non-denatured) food-grade ethanol. Pure Ethanol 200 Proof is ACS and USP Food Grade Grade Ethyl Alcohol. Pure Ethanol 200 Proof can be used in many applications and uses. It is often referred to as grain alcohol, pure alcohol, absolute alcohol, or pure grain alcohol.
Ethanol is an ideal solvent for medicinal plant processing. Food grade ethanol is safe for botanical extraction and cosmetic uses. Ethyl alcohol is used in scientific laboratories. Ethanol is used by herbal and botanical extract makers.
Food grade ethanol (alcohol), due to its lack of additives, is considered a safe culinary solvent and is used in manufacturing processes, cosmetic manufacturing, herbal tincture production, botanical oils and extracts, and food processing, where no harmful contaminants or additives are permitted to be present in the products produced.
