Packaging and shipping
Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA, also called 2-propanol) is a colorless, flammable liquid with a distinct alcoholic odor. With the formula C₃H₈O, it is fully miscible with water, ethanol, ether and most organic solvents. Featuring moderate volatility, strong solvency and low toxicity, IPA is a versatile industrial solvent and disinfectant.
IPA is most widely used in cleaning and disinfection. In industry, it degreases metal parts, electronic components and precision instruments, removing oils and contaminants without residue. In healthcare, 70%–75% IPA solutions are effective surface disinfectants, killing bacteria, viruses and fungi on skin and medical devices.
As a key solvent, IPA is used in coatings, inks, adhesives and cosmetics, dissolving resins, waxes and organic compounds. It serves as a dehydrating agent and antifreeze additive, and is a critical intermediate in pharmaceuticals, herbicides and insecticides. In personal care, it stabilizes formulations in perfumes and lotions, while in printing it cleans presses and enhances ink performance.
For safe handling, store IPA in cool, well-ventilated areas away from heat and open flames. Wear protective gloves and goggles to avoid skin or eye irritation. As a flammable liquid, strict fire safety protocols are required during transport and storage.
With reliable performance and broad applications, IPA remains an essential raw material for industrial, medical and consumer sectors.
Product Description
Isopropanol, a colorless, flammable liquid with a mild alcoholic odor, is a versatile organic solvent and chemical intermediate. It boasts high purity (≥99.7%), low water content, and excellent miscibility with water, ethanol, and most organic solvents.
Our isopropanol is packaged in sealed steel drums (160kg each) for industrial bulk use and HDPE bottles (500ml, 1L) for laboratory or small-scale applications, ensuring leak-proof and safe storage.
It features rapid evaporation, strong solvency, and low toxicity (when used as directed), making it a reliable choice for diverse industries.
Regarding usage and applications, isopropanol is widely used as a cleaning agent in electronics manufacturing to remove flux, oils, and contaminants from circuit boards and precision components.
In the pharmaceutical sector, it serves as a solvent and disinfectant, aiding in the formulation of medications and surface sterilization. The cosmetics industry employs it in nail polish removers and skin care products for its effective degreasing and drying properties.
Additionally, it acts as a raw material in the production of acetone, isopropyl acetate, and other chemicals in industrial processes. Its multi-functionality and efficiency make it an essential product in manufacturing, healthcare, and daily chemical fields.
