What is Ethyl Alcohol 70%?
DutchChems Ethyl Alcohol 70%, also known as ethanol 70%, is a denatured alcohol solution known for its excellent disinfectant properties. This specific concentration makes it a powerful agent against various types of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses and fungi. It is an essential tool in medical facilities, laboratories, and households for cleaning, disinfecting, and sterilizing surfaces and equipment.
The concentration of 70% offers advantages over higher concentrations because it remains on a surface longer before evaporating. This longer contact time offers the advantage that the alcohol can penetrate deep into the cell walls of micro-organisms to kill them. This ensures that the contact surface is disinfected even better.
