Isopropyl Alcohol 85% 25L
Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) 85% is a versatile disinfectant, solvent, and antiseptic used for cleaning surfaces, electronics, and skin (externally), as well as a key ingredient in cosmetics like hand lotions and aftershave, leveraging its strong antibacterial properties and fast evaporation, but it’s crucial to remember it’s for external use only and not safe to drink.
Key Uses:
Disinfection: Excellent for sanitizing hard surfaces, medical equipment, and electronics, effective against bacteria, fungi, and viruses.
Cleaning Agent: Ideal for cleaning eyeglasses, computer components, removing thermal paste, and general household cleaning.
Antiseptic: Used topically for skin preparation before injections and minor procedures, and as a component in astringents.
Solvent: Functions as a solvent for resins, adhesives, and in cosmetic formulations like hand lotions and aftershaves.
Industrial/Lab: Used in manufacturing, laboratories for cleaning slides, and as a component in various chemical processes.
Important Considerations:
Dilution for Disinfection: For optimal germ-killing, a 70% solution (IPA mixed with water) is often recommended, as water helps denature proteins and slows evaporation for better contact time.
Safety: It is flammable and should be used in well-ventilated areas.
Not for Consumption: 85% IPA is a cleaning product and not safe to drink.
Solvent with a combination of value and purity for general laboratory and stockroom use.
Isopropanol is a common laboratory and household chemical with the formula CH3CHOHCH3.
