PENPET Green's isoamyl alcohol is described as distilled from fusel oil generated during sugarcane bioethanol fermentation. The supplier lists solvent, extraction and ester-manufacturing applications and presents it as chemically equivalent to petrochemical isoamyl alcohol. A cradle-to-gate lifecycle study is available on request, but the page states that external critical review is incomplete and that its results should not support comparative assertions against other products.

Grade-specific screening values have not been recorded. Consult the selected supplier’s technical reference.

Grade scope & review questions

Grade-page applications rechecked; workbook retains differing pentanol/isomer purity descriptions.
Gap: Confirm isomer profile, water and CoA. Obtain complete LCA before carbon comparisons.
CAS 123-51-3 identifies the underlying chemical. It does not establish commercial-grade purity, stabilizers, renewable origin or batch composition.
