Rubbing alcohol, is a liquid prepared and used primarily for application. It is prepared from a special denatured alcohol solution and contains 97.5-100% by volume of pure, concentrated ethonal(ethyl alcohol) or isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol). Individual manufacturers can use their own "formulation standards" in which the ethanol content usually ranges from 70-99% In the UK the equivalent skin preparation is surgical spirit which is always based on an ethyl alcohol-methyl alcohol mixture.
