What is Denatured Ethanol?
Denatured ethanol, also known as denatured alcohol, is ethanol (ethyl alcohol) that has been rendered unfit for human consumption by the addition of denaturants. Denaturants are typically chemicals that make the ethanol taste bad or have toxic effects, and they are added to discourage people from drinking the substance.
The denaturation process is done to avoid the high taxes and regulations associated with beverage alcohol, as denatured ethanol is intended for industrial, pharmaceutical, or cosmetic uses rather than for consumption. Common denaturants include heptane, methanol, isopropyl alcohol, acetone, and other chemicals.
Denatured ethanol is widely used in various industries, such as in the production of paints, solvents, cleaning products, and as a fuel for alcohol burners.
What is denatured ethanol used for?
Denatured ethanol is used for various industrial and commercial purposes where the alcohol is needed for its properties but should not be consumed. Here are some common applications:
Industrial Solvent: Denatured ethanol is widely used as a solvent in industries such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and manufacturing. It is effective in dissolving a variety of substances.
Cleaning Agent: Due to its solvent properties, denatured ethanol is used as a cleaning agent for surfaces, equipment, and machinery in industrial and commercial settings.
Fuel Additive: Denatured ethanol is sometimes used as a fuel additive, especially in the blending of gasoline. It can improve combustion efficiency and reduce emissions.
Paint and Coating Industry: It is used as a solvent in the formulation of paints, varnishes, and coatings.
Pharmaceuticals: Denatured ethanol is used in the pharmaceutical industry for various purposes, including the extraction of medicinal compounds.
Laboratory Use: In laboratories, denatured ethanol is often used for tasks like sterilization and as a solvent for experiments.
Inks and Dyes: It is employed in the production of inks and dyes due to its ability to dissolve pigments.
Adhesives and Sealants: Denatured ethanol is used in the formulation of adhesives and sealants.
Window Cleaning: It is used in commercial window cleaning solutions.
Automotive Industry: In the automotive industry, denatured ethanol is used for cleaning and degreasing.
What can be used to denature ethanol?
Here are examples of common Completely Denatured Alcohol (CDA) formulations used to denature ethanol:
CDA 12-A
To every 100 gallons of alcohol, add either:
Five gallons of heptane
or 5 gallons of toluene.
CDA-19
To every 100 gallons of ethyl alcohol (not less than 160 proof), add:
4.0 gallons of either methyl isobutyl ketone, mixed isomers of nitro propane, or methyln-butyl ketone
1.0 gallon of either kerosene, deodorized kerosene, gasoline, unleaded gasoline, rubber hydrocarbon solvent, or heptane.
CDA-20
To every 100 gallons of ethyl alcohol (not less than 195 proof), add a total of:
2.0 gallons of either unleaded gasoline, rubber hydrocarbon solvent, kerosene, or deodorized kerosene, or any combination of these.
