Absolute Ethanol for Ink Dilution and Cleaning

Absolute ethanol for ink dilution and cleaning is a high-purity ethanol, essentially free of the denaturants and higher water content found in technical grades, used where purity directly affects performance.

Triwill Group supplies Ethanol Pure Grade through partners and distributors in the UAE and GCC, on a quote-led basis. Technical data sheets are available on request, with a technical and commercial study behind each recommendation.

Key Features

• High purity: Essentially free of denaturants, with minimal water content, for ink dilution, formulation and cleaning where purity affects performance.
• Fast, clean evaporation: Evaporates quickly after dilution or cleaning, leaving minimal residue, so ink sets correctly and cleaned equipment returns to use promptly.
• Good ink solvency: Dissolves ink resins and residues effectively, for dilution and for high-purity cleaning of plates, rollers and equipment.
• Formulation consistency: A consistent, documented grade for ink formulation, where batch-to-batch reliability is essential for repeatable ink behaviour.
• Ink-room and pressroom use: Suitable for ink dilution, ink-room cleaning, and high-purity press cleaning where a technical grade residue could affect the next job.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is absolute ethanol?

Absolute ethanol is ethanol at a very high purity, with minimal water content and no denaturing additives. It is used for ink dilution, formulation and high-purity cleaning, where purity directly affects performance and where denaturants or impurities could interfere with ink chemistry.

How is pure grade different from technical grade ethanol?

Pure grade offers higher purity, with no denaturants and minimal water, for dilution, formulation and cleaning where residue or impurity could affect the next job.

Can I use absolute ethanol for ink dilution?

Yes. Absolute ethanol is widely used for ink dilution, particularly where a technical grade could affect ink performance.

Is absolute ethanol flammable?

Yes, ethanol is highly flammable. It should be stored and handled in accordance with its safety data sheet, in closed, appropriate containers, away from heat, sparks and open flames, in a well-ventilated area, with the personal protective equipment recommended on the safety data sheet.
