disinfectant Propeller TM

[Old WoodChip]

I wonder if anyone can shine a light on where I can get some disinfectant, I searched and failed to find any, all I got was a link below to a forestry paper/advise sheet but still no link to the Propeller disenfectant:confused1:

 

All I can find out when searching for disenfectant is this (more or less)

 

Phytophthora ramorum – a parasitic fungus to look out for ...

Woodlands.co.uk › Blog › Flora & Fauna17 Apr 2011 – ... a recommended disinfectant such as “Propeller TM” which contains industrial methylated spirit (see the excellent Forestry Commission pdf on ...

 

Any ideas:thumbup1:

I think it's called "propellar" there's a post on tree-care.info saying it's available from from Evans Chemical Supplies - 01209 213643

 

try searching on the different spelling might find a more local supplier

Thanks Charlieh

good link

if "Propeller" is Acetone then its available at any good fibreglass roofing supplies for 1/3 the cost!

but i bet they wouldnt tell you that, is there anything on the bottles saying what the chemical is in case of accident etc? I think there should be but if not that makes me think someone is keeping it quiet and making a load of money

It's 95% industrial methylated spirit from memory, hence needing to be stored in airtight containers if you have it in your vehicle with you
