Methylated spirit or denatured alcohol is ethanol which has been rendered toxic or otherwise undrinkable, and in some cases dyed. It is used for purposes such as fuel for spirit burners and camping stoves, and as a solvent. Traditionally, the main additive was 10% methanol, which gave rise to its name. There are diverse industrial uses for ethanol, and therefore literally hundreds of recipes for denaturing ethanol. Typical additives are methanol, isopropanol, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, denatonium, and even (uncommonly) aviation gasoline.
Alo called "denatured" alcohol, this is alcohol that is unfit/ unsafe to drink. The alcohol that I mix with shellac as a thinner is denatured alcohol.
Denatured alcohol is an american term for methylated spirits (metho)
Denatured alcohol will KILL you. It says on the bottle DO NOT DRINK.
Denatured alcohol is considered a paint thinner and can also be used for cleaning shellac. Some people use denatured alcohol as a paint deglosser, but that is not recommended.
No.
Denatured alcohol is drinkable alcohol with something added to it to make it unhealthy to drink. It can be used as a gas antifreeze. So can other alcohols that are not safe to drink from the start and do not have to be denatured.
false, denatured alcohol is not safe to drink even tho it contains ethanol
Yes, denatured alcohol is considered organic. "Denatured" means that it is made so that it cannot be consumed, usually by adding additives that can cause intestinal discomfort.
Denatured alcohol or methylated alcohol is toxic if ingested by humans. It has a debilitating effect on the nervous system and can cause death quite rapidly.
I think COSHH applies to poisons and chemicals only, not denatured alcohol

Denatured alcohol wasn't "discovered", it was created. It's a mixture of ethanol and something else to make it undrinkable (and therefore avoid paying alcohol tax on it).
