Denatured ethanol fuels spirit lamps and alcohol burners, giving a steady, nearly soot-free flame for heating test tubes, melting wax, warming small beakers and flaming inoculating loops. Schools planning a school laboratory setup in India without piped gas often rely on these lamps, and a bulk container keeps every lamp in the room topped up between practicals.
Refill lamps only when they are cold and unlit, working away from any flame, and wipe up spills before relighting. Decant from the 5 liter container into a small dispensing bottle for classroom use, keep the bulk stock sealed in a flammables cabinet, and label every container clearly so nobody mistakes it for water.
