Description

Specially Denatured Alcohol Formula SDA 40B is a versatile alcohol specially treated to make it unsuitable for consumption while remaining safe for industrial and scientific use. This clear, colorless liquid is a mixture of ethanol and denaturing agents, making it ideal for various applications in laboratories, industrial settings, and as a fuel additive.
SDA 40B is a solvent for resins, shellacs, and varnishes. It dissolves these substances easily, making them easier to work with and apply. It’s also a popular solvent for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces in healthcare settings, laboratories, and industrial facilities.

Moreover, SDA 40B is essential in producing cosmetics and personal care products. It’s widely used as a solvent for perfumes, colognes, and hair sprays. It also effectively carries active ingredients in skincare products, such as lotions and creams.

Another essential use of SDA 40B is in the production of printing inks. Its solvency properties make it an excellent choice for dissolving and dispersing pigments, resins, and other ink components. It’s also used to manufacture adhesives and coatings, acting as a solvent for the adhesive or coating components.

It’s essential to note that while SDA 40B is safe for industrial and scientific use, it’s not intended for human consumption. The denaturing agents added to the alcohol make it unsafe for drinking and should only be used for its intended purposes.

Specially Denatured Alcohol Formula SDA 40B is a versatile alcohol with various industrial, scientific, and cosmetic applications. Its ability to dissolve and disperse different substances makes it an essential ingredient in printing inks, adhesives, coatings, and personal care products. Whether you’re a scientist working in a lab, an industrial worker cleaning machinery, or a cosmetics manufacturer producing skin care products, SDA 40B is an excellent choice.

You must comply with all Alcohol & Tobacco Tax Trade Bureau (TTB), federal, state, and local laws. Simple Solvents may require a copy of state or federal licenses / permits when applicable, even when purchasing products that require a federal excise tax payment.

NFPA Hazard Classification
Health: 2 (Moderate) Materials that, on intense or continued (but not chronic) exposure, could cause temporary incapacitation or possible residual injury, including those requiring the use of respiratory protective equipment that has an independent air supply. These materials are hazardous to health, but areas may be entered freely if personnel are provided with full-face mask self-contained breathing apparatus that provides complete eye protection. Flammability: 3 (Serious) This degree includes Class IB and IC flammable liquids and materials that can be easily ignited under almost all normal temperature conditions. Water may be ineffective in controlling or extinguishing fires in such materials. Instability: 0 (Minimal) This degree includes materials that are normally stable, even under fire exposure conditions, and that do not react with water. Normal fire fighting procedures may be used.
