Isopropyl Alcohol CAS 67-63-0

What Isopropyl Alcohol Is

Isopropyl Alcohol, also called isopropanol or 2-propanol, is a simple secondary alcohol. It is volatile and flammable, miscible with water, quick to dissolve organics and evaporate cleanly. These traits suit it to common process and cleaning use in industry, and the low flash point means storage away from flame. UATChem supplies industrial, electronic and pharmaceutical grades, with assay and water content on the COA.

Electronics, Pharmaceutical and Industrial Uses

• Electronics and optics. High purity material cleans wafers, circuit boards, optical lenses, displays and precision parts, drying fast without residue or corrosion, a standard solvent in electronics and precision engineering.
• Pharmaceutical and disinfection. It is the familiar rubbing alcohol used in antiseptics, wipes, hand sanitizers and surface disinfection, as a solvent and excipient in pharmaceutical work and in cosmetics and fragrances, often alongside other alcohols such as benzyl alcohol.
• Coatings, inks and aerosols. It thins coatings and inks, dissolves resins and cellulose and is used in aerosol formulations where quick drying matters.
• Automotive and chemical. It goes into windshield washer fluids, deicers and brake and parts cleaners, and it serves as an intermediate for acetone, isopropyl esters and isopropyl amines.

Typical Specifications

Assay, water content and density vary by grade and are reported on the COA and TDS, while safe handling and transport are covered by the SDS; the table below identifies the material.

Packaging, Documents and Ordering

• Regular orders ship in 50 kg white plastic drums or 160 kg blue steel drums, and bulk volumes in 1000 kg IBC totes, matching the photos. Keep the liquid sealed and cool, away from heat and flame because of the low flash point.
• As a flammable liquid (UN 1219), every lot comes with a COA, TDS and SDS, with assay, water content and density on the COA. Electronic and pharmaceutical supporting documents can be discussed by application.
• Samples are available for evaluation. To quote, UATChem needs the grade, quantity, packing and destination port.

FAQ
