About Isopropyl Alcohol
Isopropyl Alcohol (C3H8O), also known as Isopropanol and commonly sold in stores as rubbing alcohol is a colorless, flammable liquid, that is volatile, easily turns into a vapor with a mild odor, and can be mildly irritating to the eyes, nose and throat.
Isopropyl Alcohol is an essential component of many cosmetics, used as a disinfectant in medical facilities and homes, and widely used as a solvent in chemical industries. It is commonly manufactured by direct and indirect hydration (a reaction with water) of propylene, C3H6.
