Description
Ethanol min. 80 % is a laboratory alcohol with CAS number 64-17-5 and empirical formula C₂H₆O. The molar mass is 46,07 g/mol and the density is 0,86 g/cm³, with a boiling point of 78 °C and a flash point above 17 °C. From manufacturer Carl ROTH, the material supports everyday chemical handling across research, teaching, and routine analytical benches. Its defined physical data help operators estimate dilution behaviour, evaporation characteristics, and compatibility with common laboratory plastics and seals. Identification under EG number 200-578-6 and UN number 1170 aligns the product with standard hazardous-goods documentation. Laboratories use this ethanol for extraction steps, surface wiping protocols, and solvent blends that do not require absolute anhydrous alcohol, while still needing a clearly stated minimum concentration and consistent pack format.

Questions about Éthanol, min. 80 %, 1 l, plastic
What is this article?
Éthanol, min. 80 %, 1 l, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Analytical grade solvents (p.a.), inside Solvents, in Lab chemicals.
An analytical-grade solvent, often marked p.a., has impurity limits tight enough for classical analysis and for preparing reagents. It is not automatically low enough in UV absorbance for HPLC, and it is not dry enough for a water-sensitive reaction. The grade is the purchase.
A solvent dissolves. The grade says which impurities are low enough for the method. Analytical grade is the ordinary pure solvent. HPLC and LC-MS grades limit the absorbance and the ions that would become peaks or background. A dry solvent has had water removed. A deuterated solvent is for NMR, where the hydrogen signal would otherwise drown the sample. Technical grade is for cleaning and for synthesis that does not need a chromatogram. Identity is on PubChem. Names follow IUPAC. Hazards follow ECHA, the CLP Regulation and REACH.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Solvents. The sub-category is Analytical grade solvents (p.a.). The catalogue is Lab chemicals.
Shelves beside this one are HPLC & LC-MS grade solvents, Dry & deuterated solvents (NMR, synthesis), Technical & synthesis grade solvents and Green & alternative solvents.
What should I check before I order?
The technical information on this page is the manufacturer's sheet. Read that, not a rewritten specification.
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
How does ordering and shipping work?
