I do not understand what "rubbing" means

What kind of alcohol is that
Should it be f.e vodka

Thanks.

rubbing alcohol is also called isopropyl alcohol. You can sometimes find it with the first aid type items as it used for disinfecting cuts and scrapes.

Courtesy of the Wikipedia:
Rubbing alcohol, USP / B.P. is a liquid prepared and used primarily for topical application. It is prepared from a special denatured alcohol solution and contains 97.5-100% by volume of pure, concentrated ethanol (ethyl alcohol)[1]. Individual manufacturers can use their own "formulation standards" in which the ethanol content usually ranges from 70-99% v/v.[2] In the UK the equivalent skin preparation is surgical spirit which is always based on an ethyl alcohol-methyl alcohol mixture.

The term "rubbing alcohol" has become a general non-specific term for either isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol) or ethyl alcohol (ethanol) rubbing-alcohol products. The confusion comes from the greater popularity of isopropyl rubbing alcohol, and as a result, individuals requesting "rubbing alcohol" generally expect and get an isopropyl alcohol product.

"Rubbing" alcohol in the US is generally 70%. You can get 90% and 99% isopropyl alcohol also. Don't try drinking it though!

Jäkki!

thanks.

That is a thought.

But the link I put, that is not it?


I do not live in Finland, I live in Estonia, Finland is our adjoining state.

Ah sorry, my world geography is a little weak. I thought Estonia was a section of Finland.

That is the same stuff, but probably an electronic grade which would be more expensive. Here a bottle of 70% rubbing alcohol is about $1 (equiv to 10.41 Estonian kroon) So if that is the same currency in the online store, it is VERY expensive!

Maybe eBay if the local pharmacy doesn't work?
