Denatured Ethanol (95%), Reagent Grade
Manufacturer: VWR International
BDH Chemical’s Denatured Ethanol (95%) is a high-quality reagent-grade solution designed for general laboratory use, including histological processing, cleaning, and as a solvent in chemical synthesis. This formulation is often referred to as Reagent Alcohol, consisting of high-purity ethyl alcohol denatured with methanol and isopropanol to make it unfit for human consumption, thereby exempting it from certain federal beverage excise taxes. The 95% concentration ensures rapid evaporation and effective solvency, while the heavy-duty poly bottle packaging provides a shatter-resistant and chemically compatible storage solution for high-traffic laboratory environments.
