| Denatonium Benzoate
is the world’s bitterest known substance. Adding as little
as thirty parts of Denatonium Benzoate to one million parts of a liquid makes
that liquid too bitter to be tolerated by most human subjects. This denaturant
has been thus described as the bitterest compound known. Chemically, Denatonium
Benzoate is a close relative of the local anesthetic lidocaine – its structure
differs from lidocaine by the addition of a single benzyl group. And because its aversive
reaction, Denatonium Benzoate is commonly added to household items such as toiletries
and to outdoor products such as pesticides to prevent accidental poisonings. In 1995, Oregon's
legislature required antifreeze and
windshield washer fluid
to contain Denatonium
Benzoate, and the adoption of this policy by other states should reduce the number
of cases of ethylene glycol and methanol poisonings. Denatonium treatment
may discourage swallowing substantial amounts of noxious materials, but doesn't
prevent problems incurred from ingestion of smaller quantities. The best method
of reducing childhood poisoning is still the child-resistant closure. Also, its ability
to be tasted at extremely low levels allows an aerosol of diluted Denatonium to
prove the proper fitting of gas masks and other respiratory protective apparatus.
Denatonium Benzoate is also a very
effective denaturant for Ethanol .Denatonium Benzoate is used as denaturant in
manufacture of Specially Denatured Ethanol.( SDA-40).
To help in handling of Denatonium
benzoate, we have developed special protocols to avoid spillage.
To help in denaturing Ethanol, we offer
Denatonium
benzoate solution in absolute Ethanol. This solution can be diluted
very easily thus saving the handling cost of pure Denatonium benzoate
powder.
We even offer Denatonium benzoate
solution in absolute alcohol diluted to customer specific requirements in
barrels or ISO Containers
It is both our
companies mission to educate people about how easily to avoid
accidental ingestion of hazardous substances. We
are continuously testing Denatonium Benzoate & its effectiveness
in many products. We have
compiled data, which is the result of continuous research on
Denatonium Products. This data clearly demonstrates the effectiveness
of Denatonium Benzoate & other Denatonium products in preventing
accidental poisoning |
C Tech
Corporation while doing this
research identified 75 products commonly found in homes, which are
poisonous to pets, similarly Children especially younger children are
also at risk from these substances. Ingestion of these substances can
cause death, it is
wrong to call such deaths as accidental as these can easily be avoided
by addition of very small quantities of Denatonium benzoate
There are a small
percentage of Taste Blind people, who lack taste buds due to a genetic
malfunction, but these are very very rare. These Taste Blind people are
unable to detect specific tastes. However we have not met or
discovered
such an individual.
The negative
response to Denatonium's nasty taste (although the pocket gopher, Thomomys talpoides,
appears to be an exception) makes this bittering agent ideal for discouraging
browsing by deer and crib biting by horses.
The other uses of
Denatonium Benzoate are: Denatonium Benzoate
is available as: - Denatonium
Benzoate (Powder) packed in 25 Kg Drums.
- Denatonium
Benzoate packed in Hydrosoluble bags (1Kg Powder per bag) in a carton containing
25 bags.
- Denatonium
Benzoate solutions in Monoethylene Glycol or Ethanol are packed in 250 Kg drums.
Denatonium benzoate solution in alcohol
(absolute ethanol), is available diluted even to 50 parts per million of
Denatonium benzoate in Absolute Ethanol.
Since we
can offer such dilute solutions, blending of this special solutions makes
the task of handling powder, non essential.
The
Denatonium benzoate solution in alcohol is
available in barrels (250 kgs) or in ISO containers.
Denatonium benzoate solution in alcohol is
available in concentrations from 20 % Denatonium benzoate solution in
Ethanol to 50 parts per million(ppm) Denatonium benzoate in ethanol.
