Denatured alcohol is ethanol with other ingredients added in various concentrations, depending on the manufacturer...The most common ingredient is acetone which is dangerous around plastics and is not good to inhale...The only thing I ever used denatured alcohol for was rebuilding brake cylinders...

Flux removal was required in the aerospace industry, especially prior to conformal coating...I do it now for esthetic reasons... It's really no big deal, it just looks better...
