Why is 70% alcohol solution a much better disinfectant than a 90% alcohol concentration? Wouldn’t a higher concentration mean better?

It’s all about fire hazard vs evaporation rate vs protein disintegration.
70% is the most suitable condition. Additionally, if you use about 90% alcohol- proteins will denature real fast and make a protective outer layer which will effectively decrease the efficiency.
