A colourless, fast-evaporating and fully water-miscible solvent — the wide application range of IPA from cleaning to coatings.
Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is one of the most widely used solvents in industry thanks to its low boiling point and full miscibility with water. Its fast evaporation is a key advantage in applications that must dry without leaving residue.
Main applications
IPA is used as a solvent in vegetable oils and paints, as a process aid in cellulose derivatives, as an antifreeze in fuel oil and as a carrier in extraction processes. It is also widely preferred in electronics and surface cleaning.
Supply and safety
As a volatile solvent, sourcing IPA with proper packaging and transport conditions is important. Kimyatic supplies the product with a source-to-door model; the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is shared upon request.
