Denatured Ethanol

Technical denatured alcohol is ethanol with additives, which is essentially ethyl alcohol (ethanol) mixed with other chemicals that are harmful to ingest. It is unfit for consumption. The denaturing agents make the alcohol poisonous, nauseating, bad-tasting, and foul-smelling to discourage its use as a drink.

We produce high quality grain ethyl alcohol with alcohol content of minimum 96% vol. However, customers can order ethanol for specific purposes at which point we add different denaturants, which make it unfit for human consumption and give it specific taste, aroma and colour. It is used as an ingredient in disinfectants, sanitizers, cleaning detergents, glue, windscreen washer fluids and solvents. We employ a common and a special method of denaturation. Denatured alcohol is used in the pharmaceutical industry and in cosmetic products.

Common denaturants

The most common denaturants used to denature ethanol are:

• • Methanol. A poisonous alcohol that can cause blindness or death if consumed.
  • Isopropyl alcohol. Another type of alcohol that is toxic if ingested.
  • Other poisons. Various other toxic substances may be added depending on the specific formulation.

Uses of denatred ethanol

• • Industrial uses. It serves as a low-cost solvent, fuel, or chemical feedstock in various industries and laboratories.
  • Cleaning and disinfection. It is used for cleaning surfaces and equipment, such as in medical and laboratory settings.
  • Tax evasion. By making the alcohol unsuitable for drinking, producers avoid excise taxes on alcoholic beverages, which lowers production costs as specified below (see note below).
