ISO PROPYL ALCOHOL (25 LTR)

Product Description

Isopropyl alcohol, an organic polar molecule, is miscible in water, ethanol, and chloroform, demonstrating its ability to dissolve a wide range of substances including ethyl cellulose, polyvinyl butyral, oils, alkaloids, and natural resins. Notably, it is not miscible with salt solutions and can be separated by adding sodium chloride in a process known as salting out. It forms an azeotrope with water, resulting in a boiling point of 80.37 C and is characterized by its slightly bitter taste. Isopropyl alcohol becomes viscous at lower temperatures, freezing at 89.5 C, and has significant ultraviolet-visible absorbance at 205 nm. Chemically, it can be oxidized to acetone or undergo various reactions to form compounds like isopropoxides or aluminium isopropoxide. As an isopropyl group linked to a hydroxyl group (chemical formula (CH3)2CHOH) it is the simplest example of a secondary alcohol, where the alcohol carbon atom is attached to two other carbon atoms. It is a structural isomer of propan-1-ol and ethyl methyl ether. They all have the formula C3H8O.

Versatile Industrial Applications

ISO PROPYL ALCOHOL is indispensable in diverse sectors such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and chemical manufacturing. Its excellent solvency power and neutral pH make it ideal for preparing disinfectants, cleaning agents, and solutions used across laboratories and production lines. With its high purity and fast evaporation rate, it delivers consistent results in demanding industrial environments.


Safety Measures and Handling

Given its flammable nature (flash point: 12C), proper safety practices are critical when handling ISO PROPYL ALCOHOL. Ensure the use of recommended PPE like gloves, goggles, and protective clothing. Store IPA away from ignition sources, in cool, dry, well-ventilated spaces, per regulatory guidelines. Adherence to these procedures helps minimize risk and maintain workplace safety standards.
