Ahem.. it's not alcohol-based; it's glycol based. (Except DOT-5 which is

Ahem..glycol is.....well why don't you look it up.


Could be, I'm no chemist (and got a C in the subject to prove it...).
But everything I've read on it describes it as glycol. The other
one most of us think of is anti-freeze. Time was, that was
alcohol...well, it used to be it evaporated regularly.

To solve that {and corrostion issues...} Ethylene glycol as "permanent
antifreeze" came on the scene in the 1950's/60's. If that's an
alcohol, then I've learned something new. It sure doesn't burn like
one...
