Pure Denatured Ethyl Alcohol
High-purity Pure Denatured Ethyl Alcohol 5-Liter(Ethanol) designed for professional cleaning, degreasing, and paint dilution. This fast-evaporating technical solvent is the industry standard for dissolving shellac and preparing surfaces for painting or bonding in marine and woodworking environments.
Pure Denatured Ethyl Alcohol is one of the most versatile chemicals in the professional workshop. This technical-grade ethanol has been “denatured” with specific additives to make it unfit for human consumption while maintaining its powerful solvent properties for industrial use.
Because of its high purity and rapid evaporation rate, it is the preferred choice for tasks where a perfectly clean surface is required. Unlike water-based cleaners, it leaves zero residue, making it essential for degreasing delicate components, cleaning technical equipment, or preparing fiberglass hulls before the application of tapes or decals. In traditional woodworking, it is the primary solvent used to dissolve and apply shellac (gommalacca) flakes for high-end French polish finishes.
✔ Industrial-Grade Purity → Optimized for technical cleaning and solvent applications.
✔ Rapid Evaporation → Dries almost instantly, allowing for faster workflows.
✔ Residue-Free → Leaves surfaces surgically clean and ready for adhesives or coatings.
✔ Powerful Degreaser → Easily cuts through oils, light greases, and organic contaminants.
✔ Multi-Sector Utility → Essential for marine, automotive, carpentry, and general industrial maintenance.

🔹 Application Instructions
Surface Prep: Apply to a clean, lint-free cloth and wipe the surface to remove oils and dust before painting or gluing.
Shellac Dissolution: Mix with raw shellac flakes in a glass container; stir or shake until completely dissolved for a traditional finish.
Tool Cleaning: Submerge small technical tools or brushes to remove non-cured resins or light oils.
Thinning: Use as a diluent for specific alcohol-based stains and technical coatings as per the manufacturer’s instructions.
👉 Pro Tip: In the marine sector, use this alcohol to clean stainless steel fittings. It removes salt spray and fingerprints instantly, leaving a streak-free shine that microfiber alone can’t achieve.
Marine & Shipyards: Cleaning gelcoats, degreasing engine parts, and prepping surfaces for name decals.
Carpentry & Woodworking: The primary solvent for Shellac (Gommalacca) and alcohol-based wood stains.
Industrial Maintenance: Cleaning electronic contacts, precision tools, and laboratory glass.
Painting: Diluting specific technical paints and removing overspray from non-porous surfaces.
🔥 Highly Flammable: Keep away from open flames, sparks, and heat sources.
💨 Ventilation: Use only in well-ventilated areas to avoid inhalation of concentrated vapors.
🛡️ Protection: Wear appropriate gloves and eye protection during handling.
🚫 Not for Consumption: Strictly for industrial and technical use. Do not ingest.
5-Liter Industrial Container: Ideal for high-volume professional use.
A perfectly decontaminated, dry surface or a flawlessly dissolved technical solution, ensuring the success of your subsequent chemical or finishing processes.
“A reliable company, professional-quality products, quantities suitable for DIY projects, prompt phone support, and professional technical advice at reasonable prices—finally, a go-to place! Well done 👍”
Maurizio Riondato
“An excellent salesperson who, above all, knows his stuff—he understands what he’s selling and clearly explains how to use it, providing all the necessary information. Plus, the products are high-quality and offer excellent value for money. The owner and his staff are kind and professional in a way that’s hard to find anywhere else these days.”
