Q1: What is the CAS Number for this anhydrous ethanol?
A: The CAS Number is 64-17-5.
Q2: What is the recommended dosage range when formulating a polishing solution?
A: Typical usage is 65–85% v/v as the primary solvent, adjusted based on viscosity targets and co-solvent synergy; formulation validation under end-use conditions is required.
Q3: How does this anhydrous ethanol compare to isopropanol (IPA) in stripping applications?
A: Anhydrous ethanol offers higher polarity index and lower surface tension than IPA, enabling faster penetration into micro-voids and reduced interfacial residue; it also exhibits lower peroxide formation risk during storage.
Q4: Is this material compliant with FDA 21 CFR §173.320 for indirect food contact applications?
A: Yes — when used as a processing aid in polishing or stripping steps where final rinse and validation confirm residual levels below 5 ppm, it meets FDA 21 CFR §173.320 criteria.
Q5: Has migration testing been conducted for use on polymeric medical device components?
A: Yes — ISO 10993-12 extraction studies show <0.1 µg/cm² leachable ethanol from polycarbonate and PEEK surfaces after 72h exposure at 40°C, well within safety thresholds.
