When purity matters and scale demands reliability, BVV™ Ethyl Alcohol 70% USP delivers. Sourced to the highest pharmaceutical-grade standards, this 270-gallon bulk supply of 140 Proof ethanol is engineered for processors, formulators, and cultivators who can't afford compromise. Minimal residue, maximum clarity — every run, every time.
Why BVV™ Ethyl Alcohol 70%
Not all ethanol is created equal. BVV™ sources only USP-grade ethyl alcohol that meets strict pharmaceutical purity standards, ensuring your extracts, tinctures, and formulations stay clean and contaminant-free. At 70% concentration (140 Proof), this ethanol hits the sweet spot for broad-spectrum extraction efficiency — potent enough to dissolve target compounds, yet selective enough to minimize unwanted co-extractants like waxes and chlorophylls.
Unlike industrial-grade alternatives, BVV™ Ethyl Alcohol is tested for consistency and purity, giving commercial processors and craft producers alike the confidence to scale without sacrificing quality. The 270-gallon format eliminates the downtime and cost of frequent reordering, keeping your operation running at full capacity.

- Tincture Production – Used as the primary solvent base for herbal and botanical tinctures in nutraceutical and supplement manufacturing.
- Sanitization & Surface Cleaning – Effective against bacteria, viruses, and fungi; widely used in lab, food processing, and cleanroom environments.
- Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulation – Functions as a carrier solvent and preservative in lotions, serums, and fragrance products.
- Laboratory & Research Applications – Suitable for use as a reagent solvent in analytical and preparative chemistry workflows.
- Hand Sanitizer Manufacturing – A primary active ingredient in WHO-formula and commercial hand sanitizer production.
Directions for Use
- Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources, open flames, and direct sunlight.
- Use appropriate PPE (gloves, eye protection, lab coat) when handling bulk quantities.
- For extraction: chill ethanol to -20°C to -40°C for winterization or cold ethanol extraction to reduce co-extractant uptake.
- Dispense using compatible pumps or spigots (sold separately; compatible with 5-gallon plastic jugs only).
- Ensure adequate ventilation during use — ethanol vapors are flammable.
- Dispose of waste ethanol in accordance with local hazardous waste regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this ethanol food-safe and suitable for tincture production?
A: Yes. BVV™ Ethyl Alcohol 70% is USP pharmaceutical grade, making it appropriate for use in food, supplement, and tincture applications where purity is critical.
Q: What is the difference between 70% and higher-proof ethanol for extraction?
A: 70% ethanol (140 Proof) is more selective and effective for certain extraction profiles, particularly where water-soluble compounds are desired. Higher-proof ethanol (190–200 Proof) is preferred for cold ethanol extraction targeting non-polar compounds.
Q: Can I use this ethanol with standard extraction equipment?
A: Yes. BVV™ Ethyl Alcohol is compatible with most stainless steel, glass, and HDPE extraction systems. Always verify material compatibility with your specific equipment manufacturer.
Q: How should I store 270 gallons of ethanol safely?
A: Store in a flammable liquid storage cabinet or approved hazmat storage area, away from ignition sources. Ensure the storage area is well-ventilated and compliant with local fire codes and OSHA regulations.
Q: What documentation is required to purchase this product?
A: A copy of your unexpired Driver's License, State ID, or US Passport, along with a completed and signed End-User Statement, must be received before your order ships.
Q: How long does ethanol remain stable in storage?
A: When stored properly in a sealed container away from heat and light, ethanol has an indefinite shelf life. Opened containers should be resealed promptly to prevent evaporation and contamination.

What is Ethyl Alcohol?
Ethyl alcohol, also known as ethanol or grain alcohol among other things is a colorless liquid that's typically the base ingredient in alcoholic beverages including wine, beer, and brandy. Due to its effortless capability to dissolve in water and other organic compounds, this ethyl can be applied in a variety of industries including cosmetic, personal care, and extraction.
A 70% concentration of ethyl alcohol is extremely effective in the processing application. Ethanol is effective in killing microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Ethyl alcohol at concentrations of 70%–80% can be a potent virucidal agent. That's why it's a common component for hand sanitizer brands. In addition, ethyl can be safely applied as a solvent for many products including essential oils, concentrate, and tinctures.
Produce better quality extract by reducing mystery oils. Ensure safer processing with supreme cleaning agents. BVV features leading industrial solvents fit for your extraction needs.
