Hello,

Here in the US, it's sold at Longs as 99% isopropyl alcohol.

It's sold to clean the skin prior to an injection... So ask where 
diabetic supplies are carried in the stores around you...

I always have a pint nearby the electronics bench. Keep it closed or 
it picks up moisture from the air.

Hope this helps,

Ballendo
