I bought a 250ml bottle (i.e. the smallest) over the counter at CPC in

which evaporates more quickly than water for quick and efficient removal
of moisture. Evaporates after use, leaving no residuea."

It doesn't say wheter it is 70% or 90% though, but in view of the above
that may not matter. The 90% concentration will probably remove a bit more
moisture more quickly, but that shouldn't be a problem with tape heads.
