The product is denatured ethyl alcohol and it contains following as denaturant:
•1% ethyl acetate
•1% hydrocarbons
•1% methyl isobutyl ketone
•5% methanolEthanol, a primary alcohol is an important raw material for the synthesis of various compounds. It can be synthesized either from molasses by fermentation or by hydration of ethylene. It acts as a hydrogen source and reaction medium during the transfer hydrogenation of carbonyl compounds in the presence of sodium hydroxide. The impact of ethanol/water fumigation on the performance of diesel engines has been studied. Denatured alcohol is also referred to as industrial methylated spirit.
