99% Ethanol / Ethyl Denatured Alcohol 5 Litre $20 (Pickup Penrith or + Delivery) @ Sydney Solvents

730

Currently reduced by 33% & by far the cheapest I've seen for quite some time. During the height of the Covid-19 crisis these were over $100. For me delivery to Melbourne was $15 for 1 to 4 of these. Can be used for cleaning, sanitising or as flammable fuel.

Warning: This is not drinkable alcohol as it is denatured with an extremely strong bittering agent called Denatoium Bensonate. Without this added you would be paying around $400 per 5 Litre bottle in taxes!

From the site:
Ethanol

Ethanol >99% Water <%1 Denatoium Bensonate 5ppm MIBK <2%
Contains denaturant
Industrial grade
Australia Made
Other names: Ethyl Alcohol

Ethanol is a clear colourless liquid made from a natural sugarcane process. The ethanol boiling point of ethanol is 78 °C and the flashpoint is 11 °C. The product is commonly found as ethanol fuel in e10 fuel, often referred to as grain alcohol or ethyl alcohol. Our ethanol is 99% with a 1% denaturant in it so it is not food safe or suitable for drinking. Ethanol can be used to extract oils, disinfectant, sterilise medical equipment, as a window cleaner, and there are many more uses. Additionally, ethanol is perfect for indoor or outdoor ethanol heaters.

Ethanol mixes well with water, and you will find that ethyl alcohol is a common ingredient in cosmetics, cleaners and fuels. When using ethanol on the skin as rubbing alcohol it is recommended to dilute it down to about 70%. You can also add in a fragrance to mix with ethanol to make as a disinfectant to use around the home.

Sanitisation

The Therapeutic Goods Association (TGA) has two approved formulations that can be used for hand sanitisation one being Ethanol. Ethanol is highly recommended for sanitising surfaces to kill germs and bacteria that stay on kitchen benches, bathrooms and doorknobs etc. Ethanol can be used at a rate of >70% to be effective.

Cleaning & Household Uses:

Window cleaner
Used for cleaning paints

Industrial & DIY Uses:

Oil extraction: Our ethanol is not food grade safe. It can be used in the extraction of oil however in terms of the processing and how to do that you may have to do more research. Food grade Ethanol requires a license, and we do not stock the product.

  • who is going to drink this lol

    • not a good idea

    • Me, before reeading the comments.

      • Are you the homeless guy outside my local shops with the Samsung?

  • Can you inject this into your body like some kind of cleansing?

      Directly through the mouth with a mix of 4 parts Cola and 1 part this.
      Should be safe. Atleast the painters tell me so.

      • 😂😂😂😂😂😂 best to take a sip of flavoured drink, then 2-3ml in a plunger, squirt in mouth and wash it down. Don't mix with alcohol

  • Just curious, how come the 100% stuff without the bittering agent (not denatured) is $400 plus for 5L. What makes it that expensive, maybe difficult to produce in 100% purity, or is it taxes, or up keep it away from us. Just curious that's all.

    • Taxes. Ethanol is cheap to produce but consumable alcohol is taxed at almost $90 per litre.

  • If anyone wants some in Melbourne and can pick up from Boronia I have a couple spare and can part with them at cost (including the delivery I paid) of $24ea

    Thanks OP we did a group buy in Brisbane and bought 4.

    • You're very welcome. I'm glad some have been able to make the most of it!

  • Is there one that is safe for food prep surfaces ie. after cleaning you can.prepare food on the surface like rolling out dough etc.

    • I'd suggest Isopropyl Alcohol as it has no added bittering agent. It can be bought in 70,99 or 100% strength. They are all the same price from memory so I'd personally get the 100% bottle and dilute to around 75% Isopropyl & 25% water. The water will prevent premature evaporation & help the alcohol kill off bacteria. After wiping down I'd suggest letting it fully evaporate before using the surface.

    Thanks for this.

    I've been looking to purchase Ethonol for my Trangia alcohol backpacking stove but found it impossible to source as illegal to sell pure Ethonol in Australia to the public (can readily purchase it from DIY stores overseas).

    This is denatured so ok to buy and perfect for alcohol stoves. Ethonol burns cleaner than metho so doesn't cause sut on pots and isn't toxic/poisonous like methyl hydrate (meths).

  • Bought it for $25 a while back. Would buy again… if it ever runs out lol

  • delivery - Border Express - $27.91

    Your Dreaming!!!
