Description
White crystalline powder with an extremely bitter taste.
Uses
Denatonium benzoate gets its name from "denatured alcohol",
and that is where it is often used.
It is the bitterest tasting substance known.
Specially
Denatured alcohol 40, or
SD-40, is ethanol
denatured (made unfit for drinking)
by a tiny amount denatonium benzoate.
Denatonium benzoate is an ester of PABA, and is related to
lidocaine, benzocaine, novocaine,
and cocaine.
It is used in deer repellant, nail polish (to discourage nail-biting),
paints, antifreeze and windshield washing fluid (to prevent accidental
ingestions), and to coat electrical cables to prevent rats from
eating the insulation. Very dilute solutions are also used to
coat children's thumbs to prevent thumb sucking.
