Technical Ethanol
Technical Ethanol (C₂H₅OH), also known as Denatured Ethanol, is high-purity ethyl alcohol (typically 95% or higher) used as a chemical solvent, raw material, and ingredient in various industrial and commercial applications, such as paints, cosmetics, household chemicals, and disinfectants. Unlike denatured ethanol for fuel, it is often produced without harmful additives, making it suitable for non-consumable industrial and laboratory uses where potable alcohol is not required but high purity is.
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 Cassava Ethyl Alcohol, with alcohol content of 96% vol. min. However, consumers can order ethanol for specific purposes and with specific 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.

The most common denaturants used to denature ethanol are:
It is used as a chemical reagent and solvent in industry and scientific research, a fuel additive, a raw material for other chemicals, and a component in some cosmetics and polishes. In medicine, it is a sclerosing agent for treating pain and vascular malformations, a treatment for certain cancers, an antidote for poisoning, and a component in some specialized antiseptics and disinfectants.

Ethanol is generally subject to excise duty and its shipments are strictly controlled by the relevant authorities. The amount of the excise duty depends on each European importer's country. European customer must be licensed to receive ethanol with deferred duty payment and can be exempt from excise duty if the denaturant is approved by the relevant authorities. By making the alcohol unsuitable for drinking, producers avoid excise taxes on alcoholic beverages, which lowers production costs.
