Denatured alcohol is ethanol that has been rendered undrinkable by adding denaturants, making it unsuitable for consumption. Denaturants often include substances like methanol, isopropanol, or other chemicals that are toxic or unpleasant. The purpose is to discourage recreational or unauthorized consumption of the alcohol. Denatured alcohol is commonly used in industrial applications, such as cleaning, manufacturing, and as a fuel. The production involves blending ethanol with the chosen denaturant, typically in specific ratios according to regulations, ensuring the resulting mixture is unfit for human consumption while retaining its usefulness for various industrial and non-beverage purposes.
