What are the ingredients of e-NRG?

We use an F4 solution for our e-NRG ethanol. It is made from 99% ethyl alcohol denatured with 1% Tert-Butyl Alcohol (TBA) as the additive to make it bitter and unpalatable for human consumption.

What else can e-NRG be used for during COVID-19?

Mixed with water (70% ethyl alcohol / 30% water) it makes an ideal disinfectant.

It could also be used as part of a recipe to make hand sanitisers but because it is 99% ethyl alcohol (not isopropyl alcohol) it must be diluted and mixed with appropriate ingredients for it not to cause dryness or irritation.

How would I use e-NRG Ethanol (Ethyl Alcohol, C2H50H) as a disinfectant?

e-NRG is pure alcohol (99% ethyl alcohol + 1% BTA blend) which means you can also use e-NRG for disinfecting purposes.

Simply mix 70% e-NRG with 30% water in a bottle or spray bottle to create your own disinfecting solution. Pour a small amount onto a clean cloth to wipe down surfaces like benchtops, door handles, mobile phones and so on - please wear gloves so it doesn't dry your hands out and wipe up any spills immediately.

WARNING: Please note this is a flammable solution. Keep away from fire or flame or other sources of ignition.

Why is 70% percent alcohol better than a stronger solution?

Pure alcohol coagulates protein on contact. If 70 percent of alcohol is poured to a single celled organism, the diluted alcohol also coagulates the protein, but at a slower rate, so that it penetrates all the way through the cell before coagulation can block it.

What is Isopropyl Alcohol (C3H80)?

Isopropyl alcohol (C3H8O), also known as rubbing alcohol, is an alcoholic mixture intended for external use as an antiseptic; it usually contains 70% by volume of absolute alcohol or isopropyl alcohol; the remainder consists of water, denaturants, and perfume oils.

Can e-NRG be used to make hand sanitisers?

Because e-NRG is 99% ethyl alcohol yes, it could be used in hand sanitiser formulas however, because it is stronger than isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) it could also cause dryness and irritation depending on the other ingredients and the percentage of those used. We are not experts in hand sanitisers, please do your own research.
