Bartoline Methylated Spirit

Bartoline Methylated Spirit is a versatile household chemical typically used as a fuel for alcohol burners and camping stoves, as well as a smear-free hard surface cleaner. The product is manufactured by Bartoline Limited, a long-standing British family-owned company established in 1876. Based in Beverley, East Yorkshire, the company has grown from a local merchant into one of Europe's leading manufacturers of decorating products and household solvents.

The brand remains under the ultimate ownership of the Bartoline legacy, maintaining its headquarters and production facilities in the United Kingdom. The product's distinctive purple hue is a regulatory requirement to distinguish it from drinkable alcohol and to indicate that it has been denatured with additives. Today, Bartoline continues to distribute its range of solvents and DIY products globally through major hardware and general retail chains.
