What Is Methylated Spirit Used For?
In the school laboratory, methylated spirit is the usual fuel for glass spirit lamps, giving a steady flame for gentle heating of test tubes and for flaming inoculating loops where no gas line is available. It is also used to wipe down benches, to rinse the last traces of water from freshly washed glassware so that it dries quickly, and to dissolve grease, resin and marker ink that water alone will not remove.
The 5 litre container is a stock size, so decant a working quantity into a labelled wash bottle and refill lamps from that smaller bottle instead of pouring from the large can near students. Fill lamps only when they are cold and unlit, keep the container closed and away from flames and sunlight, and read the MSDS before first use. Schools planning their school chemistry lab equipment in India usually keep methylated spirit on the standing consumables list next to burners and spare wicks.
