ADM Ethanol Pure 190 Proof USP is a plant-based ethyl alcohol with 95% ethanol by volume. It is a highly concentrated, pure form of ethanol commonly used in pharmaceutical, medical, and laboratory industries. 190 Proof Ethanol is produced using cereal grains, primarily corn where starch is hydrolyzed using an enzymatic process that converts it to sugar. Using batch-type fermentation, yeast converts the sugar to alcohol. The primary distillation system strips the alcohol from the mash, while additional distillation systems purify the alcohol. This product can be used as a solvent for a variety of industries, including:
Construction
Packaging
Household products
Industrial chemicals
Paints
Inks
Coatings
