The term "denatured alcohol", when applied to absolute alcohol is misleading, and should not be used in this page unless there are enough sources to back its use up. The most common meaning of denatured alcohol is used for alcohol that has been added some chemicals (e.g. bitrex) that make it unfit for human consumption. However, there are other meanings for denatured alcohol, just look for it as a Wikipedia entry, and you will get to the methylated spirits page by a redirect. I will change the references in this article to anhydrous alcohol; if someone can provide accurate references to the use of the term denatured alcohol as an equivalent to absolute alcohol, then we can add that term to the article. -- Paiconos 15:55, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm not into chemistry at all, but I was curious as to what this bottle of "Isopropyl Alcohol" was, and got pretty confused because this article says it's always Ethanol. The bottle says "99.9% Ultra Pure Anhydrious Alcohol", but it is really Isopropyl. So what I'm trying to point out is, Anhydrious Alcohol is not always ethanol. Either that or this bottle of puretronics techncial grade isopropyl alcohol is mislabelled. -- Kilorat 07:43, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
