M95WP Clear Meths is an industrial-grade, water-clear alcohol with a mild, non-residual odor. This type of ethanol is 95% pure and miscible with water and most hydrocarbon solvents. It is commonly used in a variety of applications, including as a solvent in the production of lacquers, varnishes, and cleaning products. Its low odor makes it ideal for manufacturing perfumes, hair products, and pharmaceuticals. Ethanol M95WP is also widely used as a clean-burning fuel for ethanol fireplaces. The product is referred to as “95% Ethanol Without Paradine,” emphasizing its high ethanol content.

Common Uses of Ethanol M95WP Clear Meths

1. Surface Cleaning and Sterilization:
   • Ideal for cleaning glass and sterilizing medical and dental instruments.
   • It is effective for household cleaning, especially on surfaces like glass, counters, and medical tools.
2. Antibacterial Properties:
   • Ethanol M95WP is antibacterial at a 60% concentration, making it useful in cleaning applications requiring disinfection.
3. Fuel for Ethanol Fires:
   • Widely used as a fuel for ethanol fireplaces, including Cocoon Fires, EcoSmart Fires, and Blu Box Fireplaces.
   • Ideal for creating clean-burning, odorless flames, suitable for indoor and outdoor use. For specific fireplaces like Aura Fires (Planika and Chantico), Zethanol, a low-odor alternative, is recommended.
4. Surface Coatings:
   • Used in manufacturing nitrocellulose lacquers, vinyl resin solutions, and varnishes for coating surfaces.
   • It works well as a solvent in combination with other chemicals like aromatic hydrocarbons and esters.
5. Printing Inks:
   • Used as a solvent or co-solvent in producing rotogravure and flexographic printing inks, which are essential for packaging and labeling.
6. Personal Care Products:
   • Low toxicity and moderate volatility make Ethanol M95WP suitable for products like lotions, perfumes, and hair products. Its mild odor makes it a desired base solvent for these applications.
7. Other Industrial Applications:
   • Biological preservative
   • Adhesive label manufacturing
   • Cleaning compound production

Applications & Uses

M95WP Clear Meths (Methylated Spirits) is a high-purity alcohol solvent primarily used for cleaning, degreasing, fuel applications, and surface preparation. It is widely utilized in industrial, commercial, and domestic settings due to its effectiveness in dissolving oils, greases, and resins. Unlike standard methylated spirits, the “clear” variant minimizes residue and contamination, making it ideal for precision cleaning and specialized applications.

• Surface Cleaning & Degreasing: Used to remove grease, oil, and dirt from metal, plastic, and glass surfaces before painting or coating.
• Paint Thinner & Solvent: Helps dilute shellac-based coatings, primers, and varnishes, improving their application and finish.
• Industrial & Laboratory Cleaning: Used as a general-purpose solvent for cleaning delicate instruments, electronic components, and mechanical parts.
• Fuel for Alcohol Burners & Stoves: Acts as a clean-burning fuel for camping stoves, spirit burners, and heating applications.
• Disinfectant & Sterilizer: Used for surface sterilization in laboratories, food processing, and medical environments.
• Residue-Free Glass Cleaner: Cleans windows, mirrors, and glass surfaces without leaving streaks.
• Woodworking & Finishing: Removes excess stains, adhesives, and finishes from wood surfaces.
• Adhesive & Glue Remover: Helps dissolve glue, resin, and tape residues from surfaces without damaging them.
