[Spridgets] Ethanol

[thcollin at mtu.edu (Tim Collins)]

Never heard of this, but poking around the Material Safety Data 
Sheets, I found it contains less than 5% of some ingredients Xylene, 
Ethylbenzene, & Naphthalene and an undisclosed amount of Methyl Soyat 
and other stuff to make 100%.

I pulled up the Methyl Soyat MSDS 
(<http://www.doc.state.nc.us/eprise/products/msds/55-205msds.pdf>http://www.doc.state.nc.us/eprise/products/msds/55-205msds.pdf
 
) and found this stuff is used as a stainless steel cleaner/polish. 
Poke around the MSDS sheets for each ingredient and try to figure out 
how ethanol would be affected. MSDS for Methyl Soyat says: No hazards 
anticipated from incidental ingestion or industrial exposure. Some of 
the other ingredients in the Schaeffer Oil product are thought to 
kill people (but only in California.)

It basically seems to look like a lubricant to me. Not sure how that 
would decrease the harmful effects of ethanol.
