I am not aware of any rubbing alcohol having methanol. Methanol is very toxic - causes blindness and death. Methanol is commonly used as an antifreeze in windshield washer fluid (note the poison labels). Unfortunately the additives used to denature ethanol are not merely bitter, they are toxic, typically methanol, or ketones. At one time sulphuric acid was used. Ethanol denatured with methanol is sometimes still used as rubbing alcohol. I have some at home. (google for 'surgical spirits') But you are right, typical rubbing alcohol is 70% isopropynol with the balance being water. -- FF |
