Sanimist

This sort of dovetails with the earlier discussion about disinfecting mouthpieces. I've used Sanimist for years mostly after I've been sick (to prevent bacterial reinfection) or when I need to try a student's mouthpiece and reed setup. It's labeled as mouthpiece disinfectant.

First question: on the printed label it lists as the first ingredient "70% Proponal." The label, I should add, is printed in very small (I would guess 6-pt white type) that I've never actually tried to read before. Is there such a thing? Or is it likely that it's a misspelling (for propanol)? It does smell like rubbing alcohol.

Second question: assuming it's just a misspelling, what could be the reason for the warning I've also never seen before that says not to use it on rubber mouthpieces or some composites? I've been using it for years on hard rubber mouthpieces and never noticed any damage. Can Isopropyl damage the rubber most of our mouthpieces are made of? The only other ingredients are water, flavoring and coloring.

I've emailed Roché-Thomas, the manufacturer, with these questions but thought someone here may have already discovered the answers.
