What are the ingredients in isopropryl rubbing alcohol?
Rubbing alcohol contains two ingredients. One is isopropanol (also called isopropyl alcohol or propan-2-ol), which has C3H7OH as its chemical formula. The other ingredient is water. The rubbing alcohol sold in pharmacies is typically 70% isopropanol by mass and 30% water. It also comes as a 91% isopropanol. The 70% is actually a better disinfectant.Ethyl alcohol is also available as a rubbing alcohol, and is a smaller molecule than isopropanol.Also note that rubbing alcohol that is bought over the counter, especially in the US, is adulterated with all sorts of other molecules, such as benzene and methanol. This is done to keep people from drinking them. (In the US, they are added so that they can be sold without a liquor license.)Read more: What_are_the_ingredients_in_rubbing_alcohol
Can denatured alcohol and rubbing alcohol be used interchangeably to dissolve glue?
I'm not sure but I have used rubbing alcohol to remove glue on my bamboo flooring and it works. Just pour some on the spot, let it sit for about 5 mins. or more and then rube it off with a wast cloth or something like that. I'm sure that denatured alcohol will work as good or even better since it's higher in concentrate than rubbing alcohol. GOOD LUCK!!
