CPC v2.1 Code: 2411

About undenatured ethyl alcohol of an alcoholic strength by volume of 80% vol or higher

cpc code 2411 covers the production and trade of undenatured ethyl alcohol with an alcoholic strength of 80% or higher by volume. This highly concentrated form of ethanol is a critical industrial input, finding use in a wide range of applications across the chemical, pharmaceutical, and fuel industries. As a versatile and high-purity solvent, it plays a vital role in the broader economy, supporting the manufacture of countless consumer and commercial products.

Production process

Undenatured ethyl alcohol of 80% or higher alcoholic strength is typically produced through the fermentation of sugary feedstocks, such as molasses, sugar cane, or grains. The fermentation process converts the sugars into ethanol, which is then distilled to remove impurities and increase the alcohol concentration. Further purification steps, such as rectification and dehydration, are often employed to achieve the desired 80% or higher purity level.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of cpc code 2411 undenatured ethyl alcohol include sugary feedstocks (e.g., molasses, sugar cane, grains), fermentation equipment, distillation columns, and energy sources to power the production process. Specialized machinery and equipment, such as fermentation tanks, distillation units, and purification systems, are also essential for the manufacture of this high-purity ethanol product.

Production outputs

The primary output of cpc code 2411 is undenatured ethyl alcohol with an alcoholic strength of 80% or higher by volume. This high-purity ethanol is a versatile industrial input, finding use in the production of 2420 Chemical and organic basic substances, 2100 Pharmaceutical products, and 1920 Refined petroleum products, among other industries. The concentrated ethanol can also be further processed or blended to create a wide range of downstream products.
