I don?t know Swedish, but ?benzine? in Dutch, and ?Benzin? in German, means
petrol/gasoline (the stuff you feed to cars, if they have an Otto cycle engine). The
substance I mentioned was earlier known as ?benzol? in various European languages, but
that?s misleading because it?s not an alcohol.

I looked for a translation of the text on the bottle
swedish->english and "white benzene" came up (amongst others), but perhaps i
picked the wrong one.
Directly translated the text on the bottle says "Chemically purified benzine".

?white? benzene? That sounds like a term for
gasoline (?petrol?).
I was talking about benzene, C6H6.

I use paint thinner (the cheap stuff that comes
in 1 gallon jugs)--it takes time, but doesn't bother plastic. Great for removing
labels from old floppies as well. It helps if glossy labels are scuffed up a bit with
sandpaper first to allow the stuff to penetrate.
