What is 96% denatured ethanol used for?

In laboratory environments, 96% ethanol is frequently used to clean equipment, glassware, and work surfaces. Due to its rapid evaporation, the surface dries almost instantly, leaving no visible residue. The liquid is suitable for removing grease, resin residue, stains, or ink from suitable non-porous and hard surfaces. In industrial processes, this alcohol is used as a solvent or as a carrier in synthesis and formulations, as well as in techniques such as chromatography.
