Description
Ethanol 95% E5 CP is primarily used as a solvent for dissolving organic compounds, often in analytical procedures, due to its high purity and ability to mix readily with water and many other organic solvents; the “E5” indicates that it contains 5% denaturant, typically ethyl acetate, which prevents its use for consumption while still maintaining its solvent properties for laboratory applications.
Key points about Ethanol 95% E5 CP:
Solvent properties:
Its main function is to dissolve various organic substances used in chemical reactions and analysis.
Denatured:
The “E5” indicates that it is denatured with a small amount of ethyl acetate, preventing its consumption.
CP grade:
“CP” stands for “Chemically Pure” grade, meaning it is suitable for most laboratory applications requiring a high level of purity.
