Sprit

Sprit.dk is an educational guide to alcohol-based liquids commonly called sprit, with a focus on ethanol, technical products and their everyday uses. The site explains the chemistry and properties of ethanol, including its formula, boiling point, flammability and production through fermentation or synthesis. Its guides distinguish household and denatured spirits, red spirit used as fuel, isopropanol (IPA), hand sanitizer and high-purity ethanol, while noting that product contents can vary and should be checked on the label.

The content is organized around four themes: chemistry, use in the home, safety and history. Readers can find practical information about cleaning windows and surfaces, using alcohol in hobbies and crafts, and cleaning electronics with IPA. Separate guides cover hand sanitizer, distillation, spirit burners and camping stoves. Sprit.dk also explains fire risks, safe storage and what to do in case of accidental ingestion, and explores the history of distillation and the origin of the word “sprit.” Its material is presented as general guidance, with reminders to follow product instructions and safety advice.
