REF : ETHYL ALCOHOL 96 C4X5L-ADR
Carton 4x5L
Denatured ethanol is an ethyl alcohol to which one or more products have been added, such as methyl ethyl ketone or isopropyl alcohol, to make it unfit for consumption. Denaturation preserves the properties of the alcohol. In Europe, alcohol is subject to a tax: the excise duty. Since denatured alcohol is undrinkable, the excise duty does not apply.
