    Ethanol MS*5WP should be used for similar applications, where an uncoloured, industrial grade alcohol is required.
    Use SDA AMS MS*9WP 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.
