About the product
Isopropyl alcohol
Isopropyl alcohol (also isopropanol, propan-2-ol, 2-propanol, rubbing alcohol or the abbreviation IPA) is a common name for a chemical compound with the molecular formula C3H8O. It is a colorless, flammable chemical compound with a strong odor. It is the simplest example of a secondary alcohol, where the alcohol carbon is attached to two other carbons sometimes shown as (CH3)2CHOH. It is a structural isomer of propanol.
Properties
Isopropyl alcohol is miscible in water, alcohol, ether and chloroform. It is insoluble in salt solutions. Unlike ethanol or methanol, isopropyl alcohol can be separated from aqueous solutions by adding a salt such as sodium chloride, sodium sulfate, or any of several other inorganic salts, since the alcohol is much less soluble in saline solutions than in salt-free water. The process is colloquially called salting out, and causes concentrated isopropyl alcohol to separate into a distinct layer.
It forms an azeotrope with water, which gives a boiling point of 80.37o C and a composition of 87.7 wt% (91 vol%) isopropyl alcohol. Water-isopropyl alcohol mixtures have depressed melting points.It has a slightly bitter taste, and is not potable.
It will dissolve ethyl cellulose, polyvinyl butyral, many oils, alkaloids, gums and natural resins.
Isopropyl alcohol becomes increasingly viscous with decreasing temperature. At temperatures below -70 °C Isopropyl alcohol resembles maple syrup in viscosity.
Isopropyl alcohol has a maximum absorbance at 204 nm in an ultraviolet-visible spectrum.
Uses
The vast majority of isopropyl alcohol was used as a solvent for coatings or for industrial processes.
Isopropyl alcohol in particular is popular for pharmaceutical applications,presumably due to the low toxicity of any residues. Some isopropyl alcohol is used as a chemical intermediate. Isopropyl alcohol may be converted to acetone, but the cumene process is more significant. In that year, a significant fraction (5.4 tonnes) was consumed for household use and in personal care products. It is also used as a gasoline additive.
Solvent
Isopropyl alcohol dissolves a wide range of non-polar compounds. It also evaporates quickly and is relatively non-toxic, compared to alternative solvents. Thus it is used widely as a solvent and as a cleaning fluid, especially for dissolving oils.
Examples of this application include cleaning electronic devices such as contact pins (like those on ROM cartridges), magnetic tape and disk heads (such as those in audio and video tape recorders and floppy disk drives), the lenses of lasers in optical disc drives (e.g. CD, DVD) and removing thermal paste from heatsinks and IC packages (such as CPUs.[9]) Isopropyl alcohol is used in keyboard, LCD and laptop cleaning, is sold commercially as a whiteboard cleaner, and is a strong but safer alternative to common household cleaning products. It is used to clean LCD and glass computer monitor screens (at some risk to the anti-reflection coating on some screens, and used to give second-hand or worn non-vinyl phonograph records newer-looking sheen.
Isopropyl alcohol should not be used to clean vinyl records as it may leach plasticizer from the vinyl making it more rigid.
It is effective at removing residual glue from some sticky labels although some other adhesives used on tapes and paper labels are resistant to it.
It can also be used to remove stains from most fabrics, wood, cotton, etc. In addition it can also be used to clean paintballs or other oil based products so that they may be reused, commonly known as "repainting".
It is used as a wetting agent in the fountain solution used in lithographic printing, and often used as a solvent for French polishing shellac used in cabinet making.
Laboratory uses
As a biological specimen preservative, isopropyl alcohol provides a comparatively non-toxic alternative to formaldehyde and other synthetic preservatives. Isopropyl alcohol solutions of 90–99% are used to preserve specimens.
Isopropyl alcohol is often used in DNA extraction. It is added to a DNA solution in order to precipitate the DNA into a 'pellet' after centrifuging the DNA. This is possible because DNA is insoluble in isopropyl alcohol.
Safety
Isopropyl alcohol vapor is denser than air and is flammable with a combustible range between 2 and 12.7% in air. It should be kept away from heat and open flame.Isopropyl alcohol has also been reported to form peroxides, which may explode upon concentration.Isopropyl alcohol is a skin irritant.
