Product Description
Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is an important organic compound and a versatile solvent. It is a colorless, transparent, and highly volatile liquid with a characteristic alcoholic odor. As a secondary alcohol, isopropyl alcohol possesses excellent solubility and is miscible with water, alcohols, ethers, chloroform, and many other organic solvents. Isopropyl alcohol is widely used in the electronics industry for cleaning, in medical disinfection, in cosmetic formulations, as a solvent for inks, and in paints and coatings. Due to its highly effective disinfecting properties and relative safety, 70% isopropyl alcohol is widely used for disinfecting skin and medical devices.
