Denatured ethanol is grain ethanol that has had chemical additives added to it to make it unfit to ingest. Pure grain ethanol forms the basis for all Alcoholic Beverages and as such is highly taxed and regulated. Since ethanol has many more uses other than to drink it, denatured ehtanol was created to ensure ethanol destined for anything other than consumption was kept as such. The chemicals added make the alcohol terribly bitter and poisonous, so don't drink it! It is the same effect as why diesel fuel is sometimes dyed red-red diesel is much cheaper than regular diesel because it is given a tax exemption for off-road use only. If a trucker fills his rig up with cheaper red diesel fuel and gets inspected by the authorities, it will show up and the trucker will have to pay a whole lot of money in fines and penalties.

Why is denatured alcohol preferred over regular ethanol in industrial applications?
Denatured alcohol is preferred over regular ethanol in industrial applications because it contains additives that make it unfit for human consumption, which allows it to be sold without the high taxes associated with beverage alcohol. This makes denatured alcohol more cost-effective for industrial use while still providing the benefits of ethanol as a solvent or fuel.
Is ethanol pure?
Ethanol (also called ethyl alcohol) is the alcohol in beers, wines and other Alcoholic Beverages which causes psychoactive effects (makes you feel good, decreases inhibitions, etc.) Pure ethanol is dangerous and should only be used in a laboratory setting with adequate precautions. In addition, most sources of "pure" ethanol are "denatured" which means that poisons are added to keep people from drinking it. This is because the government doesn't tax ethanol when it's used for purposes other than consumption, so when it is sold for those purposes it must either be taxed as an alcoholic beverage, or denatured so no one can drink it. That way, party attendees can't buy "laboratory" alcohol for their mixed drinks and avoid paying the taxes on it.
What is in grain alcohol?
Grain alcohol is ethanol made from fermenting grain. Depending on its intended use, it is sold diluted with a specific amount of water. If it is not intended for human consumption (drinking) but is intended as a solvent, fuel or some industrial use, something is added to it to make it poisonous and it is called denatured alcohol. Once denatured, it can no longer be made safe to drink by normal means.
