What is Denatonium Benzoate?
Denatonium Benzoate is a white crystalline powder or granules, tasteless. Also known as Bitrex, it is the most bitter chemical substance in the world. If quinine has a bitterness level of 1, then Denatonium Benzoate has a bitterness level of 1000. To give a vivid example, a solution with a concentration of 10 ppm is unbearably bitter to humans. Denatonium Benzoate is often added in small amounts to liquids that are harmful to humans; its bitterness helps avoid accidental ingestion.

Common Application of Denatonium Benzoate
Is Denatonium Benzoate toxic to dogs?Dogs are sensitive to denatonium. It can be applied to sofas and electrical wires to prevent them from being chewed on.
Small amounts of denatonium are not toxic to dogs, and ingestion of small amounts is safe.
Denatonium Benzoate and Nintendo SwitchNintendo Switch game cartridges are very tiny, and Nintendo has incorporated denatonate bezoate into the cartridge surface coating to prevent children from accidentally swallowing or licking the cartridges. The effect is excellent.
Prevention and control of plant diseases and pestsWatering or spraying plants with a suitable concentration of solution will make the leaves and branches taste bitter, deterring pests from eating them.
These methods are not only effective but also reduce pesticide use and protect the environment.

Denatonium Benzoate in Acetone
Almost all acetone products on the market contain a very small amount of Denatonium Benzoate.
This is because acetone is a colorless, transparent liquid and a widely used organic solvent in industry. To prevent improper use, such as accidental inhalation or ingestion, relevant regulations require the addition of a small amount of Denatonium Benzoate to acetone.

Bitrex is the trade name; its chemical name is Denatonium Benzoate. Compared to the chemical name, Bitrex is easier to pronounce and remember, and is widely known.
Denatonium Benzoate has low toxicity, an oral median lethal dose (LD50) of 485-740 mg/kg in rats.
Denatonium Benzoate is odorless.
Denatonium Benzoate is completely soluble in water.
Denatonium Benzoate melting point is 163 to 170°C.
Denatonium Benzoate is soluble in water, ether, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, tert-butyl alcohol, and methanol. It is sparingly soluble in acetone and practically insoluble in ether.
Denatonium Benzoate does not have a precise boiling point because it decomposes before reaching a molten state. It decomposes between 180℃ and 220℃. Based on this, if a boiling point must be specified, it would be higher than 220℃.

Applications of Denatonium Benzoate
- A low-cost and highly effective substitute for strychnine (dimethylstrychnine), quassinolide, quinine, etc.
- The best alcohol denaturing agent;
- Applications in automotive chemicals, such as antifreeze, brake fluid, hydraulic fluid, battery electrolyte, ethanol gasoline, windshield washer fluid, and car polish;
- Applications in cosmetics and hair care products, such as hair dyes.
- Applications in household daily necessities. Examples of its applications include:
- Insect repellents, air fresheners, spray and scrub cleaning solutions, toilet cleaners, carpet, floor, and wall cleaners, dishwasher cleaners, leather cleaners and polishes, to prevent accidental ingestion and pet licking;
- Used in children’s toys, decorative items, and art paints to prevent children from chewing on toys and to prevent pets from licking toys and spreading pathogens; bittering in decorative items can prevent pets from licking and damaging them, and can also be used in decorative pine wood disinfectants to avoid mold growth.
- Used in pesticides, plant growth regulators, insecticides, rodenticides, molluscicides, and as bait for flies, ants, and cockroaches;
- Used in animal husbandry and veterinary medicine, and as a feed additive. Examples include: preventing cannibalism among pigs;
- Used in landscaping, agriculture, forestry, and environmental protection;
- Applications in military products such as communication cables and tear gas;
- Performance testing of gas masks and other applications;
How to remove Denatonium Benzoate from acetone
If the quantity is small, denatonium benzoate and acetone can be separated by distillation.
Another method is also available:
Due to the property that denatonium benzoate decomposes under high pH conditions, add a small amount of sodium hydroxide and water (to dissolve the sodium hydroxide) to the solution and wait for one hour for the denatonium benzoate to decompose.
Then cool the mixture to below 0°C. The water will freeze, and acetone, with a freezing point of -95°C, will remain liquid. The dissolved sodium hydroxide will precipitate to the bottom.
Then pour the acetone into another container; the separation is complete.
Femite is a famous brand of Denatonium Benzoate solution, which is used to discourage nail-biting and thumb-sucking habits.
Cats are sensitive to denatonium. It can be applied to sofas and electrical wires to prevent them from being chewed on.
Small amounts of denatonium are not toxic to cats, and ingestion of small amounts is safe.
Yes, Denatonium Benzoate is the bitterest substance known to humankind, and it is non-toxic, making it the most suitable substance for treating nail-biting. Years of market practice have proven its effectiveness.
