REF : ETHYL ALCOHOL 96 20L-ADR
20L Jerry Can
Denatured ethanol is an ethyl alcohol to which one or more substances, such as methyl ethyl ketone or isopropyl alcohol, have been added to render it undrinkable. Denaturation preserves the properties of the alcohol. In Europe, alcohol is subject to a tax: the excise duty. Since denatured alcohol is undrinkable, excise duty does not apply.
