Huh? Hand sanitizer is recommended to be at least 60% alcohol, that easily burns.
- throwaway894345 5y agoDoes it? Other commenters are saying that 70% stuff doesn’t light even with an open flame. Maybe it’s what’s in the nonalcoholic remainder that makes the difference?
- ThrowawayR2 5y agoAccording to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flamb%C3%A9 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flamb%C3%A9 , even a 40% ethanol solution is ignitable. "Cognac, rum, or other flavorful liquors that are about 40% alcohol (80 USA proof) are considered ideal for flambé. ... High-alcohol liquors, such as Bacardi 151 or Everclear, are highly flammable and considered too dangerous by professional cooks." The recommendation from the FDA seems to be that hand sanitizer needs to be at least 60% alcohol.
