Isopropyl alcohol (IPA), also known as isopropanol or propan-2-ol (CH<sub>3</sub>CH(OH)CH<sub>3</sub>), is a versatile chemical compound with numerous applications. This listing offers two 0.5-liter bottles of high-purity, anhydrous IPA.
IPA is a secondary aliphatic alcohol with unique properties. It readily forms esters, reacts with active metals, and condenses with aromatic compounds to create derivatives such as isopropylbenzene. It's an excellent solvent, miscible with water and various organic solvents including benzene and acetone. IPA effectively dissolves natural and some synthetic resins, ethyl cellulose, polyvinyl butyral, and most oils. However, it's not suitable for use with all rubbers and plastics. It forms an azeotropic mixture with water (87.9% propan-2-ol). Importantly, it doesn't react chemically with salt solutions, making separation from aqueous solutions relatively easy. IPA is a colorless liquid with a pungent, characteristic odor, stronger than ethanol. Its freezing point is -89.5°C. Its vapors possess narcotic effects; while more toxic than ethanol, its rapid intoxicating effect reduces the likelihood of lethal ingestion. However, prolonged inhalation of concentrations exceeding permissible limits is dangerous.
Isopropyl alcohol finds widespread use in various sectors:
This high-purity anhydrous isopropyl alcohol is ideal for applications demanding a clean, effective solvent and cleaner. Its versatility makes it a valuable asset in various settings, from industrial cleaning to household use. Always follow safety precautions when handling isopropyl alcohol.
