Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) at the 99.8% concentration is hydrophilic and evaporates quickly making this concentration ideal for use with products and environments that are sensitive to water and residues. Isopropyl Alcohol is a colorless and flammable liquid.
Examples of when Isopropyl Alcohol 99.8% is the preferred concentration.
- IPA can solubilize non-polar compounds making it a preferred alcohol to process essential oils, dyes, and fats.
- IPA is miscible in water, making it highly used in the cosmetics industry in hand sanitizer, bath products, makeup, aftershaves, and nail polish.
- IPA is used in the food industry to sanitize reactors, vats, and other equipment.
- IPA is used extensively in the electronics industry to remove impurities on surfaces during manufacturing.Â
