What about long term use?

in what way ? , i will be using it all the time

On customer's plastic frames mainly...

Not on our equipment, as we can just replace if things go wrong

i dont think it will be a problem mate isopropanol is used on all types of plastics , electric circuit boards , flat screen tv screens believe me before i took the plunge i did a lot of research into this product and all i can say is thanks nwh for bringing to light such a great addative

£31.45 delivered for 15 ltrs of 97% pure from here:

That works out to just under £2.10 per litre. Not sure if being 97% as opposed to 100% pure makes a difference though.

Hm, 97% pure isn't 000 TDS I guess? Would be a bit hesitant to try that out.
