Anhydrous Ethanol (Ethyl Alcohol)

CAS Number: 64-17-5

Description:
Anhydrous ethanol is a form of ethanol (C₂H₅OH) that contains no water, typically with a purity of 99% or higher. It is a colorless, flammable liquid with a strong odor and is widely used in various industrial and laboratory applications. Anhydrous ethanol is used as a solvent, fuel, and as a base for the production of chemicals. It is also employed in cleaning, coating, and other chemical processes.

Chemical Properties:

Applications:

1. Solvent: Anhydrous ethanol is a versatile solvent used in various industrial processes, including paint formulations, coatings, and in the extraction of chemicals.
2. Fuel: It is used as a fuel or a fuel additive, particularly in the form of ethanol-blended gasoline (e.g., E85). Ethanol is considered a renewable energy source, often derived from agricultural feedstocks.
3. Cleaning and Disinfection: Anhydrous ethanol is used as a cleaning agent in laboratories and industrial settings. It is also used in disinfectants due to its ability to kill microorganisms.
4. Chemical Synthesis: It serves as a key reagent in the synthesis of various organic compounds, including solvents, intermediates, and other chemicals.

Safety and Handling:

Anhydrous ethanol is flammable and presents health hazards, particularly when used in large quantities or improperly handled.

Hazardous Effects:

• Flammability: Ethanol is highly flammable and can easily catch fire when exposed to heat, sparks, or open flames.
• Inhalation Risk: Vapors may cause dizziness, headache, and irritation to the respiratory system.
• Skin and Eye Contact: Direct contact with the skin or eyes may cause irritation.
• Ingestion Risk: Ethanol can cause gastrointestinal distress, nausea, vomiting, and intoxication if ingested in large quantities. High doses can be toxic.

Precautions:

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): When handling anhydrous ethanol, wear flame-resistant clothing, safety goggles, and gloves. Use in well-ventilated areas or with proper fume extraction to minimize inhalation of vapors.
• Storage: Store anhydrous ethanol in tightly sealed containers, away from heat, sparks, and open flames. It should be kept in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area.
• Disposal: Dispose of anhydrous ethanol according to local environmental regulations. Ethanol should never be poured down drains or released into the environment in large quantities.

GHS Classification:

Anhydrous ethanol is classified under the GHS for its flammability and health hazards.

• GHS Hazard Statements (H):

  • H225: Highly flammable liquid and vapor.
  • H319: Causes serious eye irritation.
  • H336: May cause drowsiness or dizziness.

• GHS Precautionary Statements (P):

  • P210: Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. No smoking.
  • P241: Use explosion-proof electrical/ventilating/lighting equipment.
  • P280: Wear protective gloves/eye protection/face protection.
  • P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.
  • P370+P378: In case of fire: Use dry sand, dry chemical, or alcohol-resistant foam to extinguish.
  • P312: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell.

Pictograms:

• GHS02 (Flame): Number 02 – Indicates the substance is highly flammable.
• GHS07 (Exclamation Mark): Number 03 – Indicates irritation, particularly eye irritation.

Notes:

Anhydrous ethanol should be handled with care, particularly in environments where there is a risk of fire or excessive exposure to vapors. Always ensure proper ventilation and use of personal protective equipment (PPE) when working with this substance. In case of accidental exposure, wash the affected area with water and seek medical advice if symptoms persist.
