Miscellaneous

Methylated Spirits is not a “potable” spirit as it includes a denaturant.
Ethanol MS95WP should be used for similar applications, where an uncoloured, industrial grade alcohol is required.
Use SDA AMS MS99WP in applications where the presence of water is undesirable.
Isoproplyl Alcohol can be used when Methylated Spirits is too harsh on plastics and paints. As Methylated Spirits is a primary Alcohol and Isopropyl Alcohol is a secondary Alcohol.
