Overview & Mechanism of Action

  • Methylated Spirit 5 Litre (bulk liquid denatured ethanol formulation) delivers fast-acting, broad-spectrum microbial eradication and versatile clinical solvent action:
  • Cellular Protein Denaturation: Rapidly dissolves lipid membranes and denatures vital intracellular proteins, resulting in the rapid lysis of vegetative bacteria, fungi, and lipid-enveloped viruses upon topical contact.
  • Residue-Free Evaporative Cleansing: Evaporates rapidly without leaving chemical film or sticky residue, making it ideal for degreasing skin before tape application and sanitizing non-porous medical surfaces.
  • Industrial & Laboratory Solvent: Provides high solvent capacity for cleaning glassware, surgical instruments, and lab equipment while maintaining strict hygiene standards.

Clinical Indications & Uses

  • Methylated Spirit 5 Litre is indicated for:
  • Cleansing and sanitizing intact skin prior to injections, venipuncture, or minor surgical procedures
  • Disinfection of hard clinical surfaces, examination tables, surgical trays, and medical equipment
  • General hospital, laboratory, and institutional hygiene and equipment degreasing

Usage Guidance & Safety Precautions

Administration:

  • Apply directly to clean cotton wool, gauze, or cloth and wipe target intact skin area or surface thoroughly. Allow to fully air dry to achieve complete antimicrobial action.

Recommended Usage:

  • Apply liberally as needed for surface sanitization or skin preparation.

Precautions & Warnings:

  • For external topical and surface use only. Highly Flammable Liquid and Vapor: Keep strictly away from open flames, sparks, hot surfaces, and electrical ignition sources. Do not apply to open wounds, deep lacerations, burned skin, or mucous membranes, as it causes severe tissue irritation and delays healing. Toxic if swallowed; do not ingest. Avoid contact with eyes. Store below $25^\circ\text{C}$ in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct heat and direct sunlight. Keep container tightly closed and out of reach of children.
