Specially denatured alcohol

A specially denatured alcohol (SDA) is one of many types of denatured alcohol specified under the US Code of Federal Regulations Title 27 Section 21.151.[1] A specially denatured alcohol is a combination of ethanol and another chemical, e.g. ethyl acetate in SDA 29, 35, and 35A, added to render the mixture unsuitable for drinking.[2] Often an SDA is used in cosmetic products but can also be used in chemical manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and solvents.[3] The use of denatured, non-beverage suitable, alcohol in the USA avoids excise taxes on alcohol[4]
