It is supposed to be 70% ethanol with up to 0.1% “other stuff” that is supposed to discourage drinking, and when I checked 10 years ago I think it wasn’t isopropyl but I might be misremembering or thing have changed.
Thanks! Will look into that.
- grawprog 6y agoIt could just be something here. There's a lot of restrictions on ethanol here. It's pretty hard to buy. Most of what you can find in general tends to be isopropynol or methyl hydrate.
- beagle3 6y agoFor the past few years I’ve mostly been in Israel (the “here”) and basically only Ethanol is sold in pharmacies for medical use; you CAN get e.g. isopropyl for cleaning whiteboards, but not in a pharmacy.
- grawprog 6y agoI've seen food grade ethanol sold here in extremely tiny amounts at pretty high prices for perfume making. Other than that you need a license to acquire it. I'm fairly certain there's different licenses for different applications too. Pharmaceuticals falls under a different category than distillers and stuff with different rules. Alcohol in general is highly regulated here so it falls under those same regulations.
