What is Denatured Alcohol Used For?

Denatured alcohol is ethanol that has been made unfit for human consumption through the addition of denaturants. These can sometimes alter the colour of the alcohol, make it unpleasant to drink or even cause adverse effects such as nausea in cases where it is consumed.

There are several ways in which alcohol is denatured, the most popular one being the addition of 5-10% methanol. This is usually done when the alcohol is intended for use as a fuel and is why it is sometimes referred to as industrial methylated spirits.

Common uses for denatured alcohol include:

  • As a solvent in the removal of paint, glue and wax from a variety of surfaces
  • As fuel for alcohol burners and camping stoves
  • As a sanding aid
  • As a cleaning agent in the removal of dirt, grime, grease and debris from wood and windows
  • As a pest exterminator
  • In cosmetics as an antibacterial agent, preservative, anti-inflammatory and/or deodoriser
