[Nhcoll-l] 70% ETOH in volume?

[Tom Schiøtte]

Hi Tonya,

We have bought 70% for several years, and now we use 96% only for topping up. I don't know the price difference, but it has apparently not scared our budgets people (who are usually vigilant), and with regards to other ill effects I heard of none.

Cheers

Tom

Hello everyone,

Following on our conversation about mixing 70% EtOH, I am wondering if anyone purchases pre-mixed 70% instead of diluting it in-house? We are going through a lot of ethanol right now, and it would ease our work flow if we could cut the in-house mixing stage and just decant 70% straight out of a pre-mixed drum... but I suspect this may come at a cost (and perhaps not only financia?). I would love to hear your thoughts and perspectives on this.

Thanks!

Tonya
