What is Mineralised Methylated Spirits? Also known as denatured alcohol, it is ethanol that has been rendered unsuitable for consumption by adding substances like Methanol, Isopropyl Alcohol, Acetone, and Methyl Ethyl Ketone. A purple dye is often included for easy identification.

Consistent Quality: We provide only high-quality Mineralised Methylated Spirits ensuring reliable and consistent performance for all applications.

Shipped from Manchester, UK Facility: Sourced and packaged using non-toxic, chemical-resistant containers, ensuring reliable quality for our customers.

Frequent Uses

Pharmaceutical Applications

Can be used as an excipient in various pharmaceutical products for topical use, aiding in drug formulation and application.

Preservation of Biological Specimens

Cost-effective alternative to pure ethanol, it is commonly used for preserving biological specimens.

Biodiesel Production

Serves as a less toxic alternative to methanol in biodiesel production, resulting in fatty acid ethyl ester instead of fatty acid methyl ester.

Food Production

Mineralised Methylated Spirits can be used in cooking to test pectin levels when making jam, jelly, and marmalade.

Used for thinning french polishes and shellac varnishes.
For use in spirit burning heaters, stoves and for lighting barbecues.
Cleans mirrors, glass and jewellery.
As a fuel for marine and ultra-light camping (backpacking) stoves. It is inexpensive, may be extinguished with water, and can be transported without special containers. However, safety concerns do arise from the near-colourless flame with which alcohol burns. A jellied and dyed form is used in the Sterno brand fuel "Canned Heat", which is meant to be ignited and used in its container.
To pre-heat the vaporizing tubes on a wickless kerosene stove such as a Primus stove
As a sanding aid, as the alcohol helps to more easily remove excess dust because it does not open the wood grain the way that water does.
As a cleaning aid in removing ink stains from upholstery or clothes.
As a cleaner in daily housekeeping
As an excipient in a number of pharmaceutical products for topical use.
As a less expensive alternative to pure ethanol in preserving biological specimens.
As a less toxic alternative to methanol in the production of biodiesel fuel. Biodiesel produced using ethanol is properly called fatty acid ethyl ester, whereas biodiesel from methanol is properly referred to as fatty acid methyl ester.
For window washing
It can be used in cooking to test pectin levels when making jam, jelly and marmalade.
