Key Physicochemical Properties

Isopropyl Alcohol has a flash point of 12C and vapor pressure of 4.3 kPa at 20C, underscoring its volatility. The liquids autoignition temperature is 399C, while it demonstrates excellent miscibility in water and a stable viscosity of 2.43 mPas at 20C. These attributes make IPA suitable for precision cleaning and solvent applications demanding rapid drying and minimal residue.


Safe Handling & Storage Advice

Given its classification as a flammable liquid (Hazard Class: Flammable), Isopropyl Alcohol must be stored in cool, well-ventilated areas away from ignition sources. Always use IPA following recommended guidelines and safety data. Proper packaging in bottles or drums, as supplied by reliable distributors or manufacturers in India, further ensures its safety and integrity during storage and transport.

FAQs of Isopropyl Alcohol:


Q: How should Isopropyl Alcohol be safely stored and handled?

A: Isopropyl Alcohol should be kept in a cool, ventilated place away from heat sources and open flames due to its low flash point (12C) and flammable nature. Properly sealed containers, like drums or IBCs, are recommended to retain product integrity.

Q: What are the main industrial applications of Isopropyl Alcohol?

A: Isopropyl Alcohol is primarily used as an industrial solvent, cleaning agent, disinfectant, and in pharmaceutical processes. Its ability to dissolve a wide range of non-polar compounds and quick evaporation make it ideal for surface preparation and sanitation.

Q: When is Isopropyl Alcohol most effectively used as a disinfectant?

A: Isopropyl Alcohol is most effective as a disinfectant when used at concentrations around 70%, which allows optimal microbial penetration and rapid evaporation. It is commonly applied to sanitize surfaces in medical and laboratory environments.

Q: Where is Isopropyl Alcohol commonly sourced and supplied in India?

A: IPA is manufactured, distributed, and supplied across India by various suppliers, manufacturers, and traders, typically offered in packaging such as bottles, drums, and IBC containers for industrial and pharmaceutical clients.

Q: What are the benefits of using high-purity (99% min) Isopropyl Alcohol?

A: High-purity Isopropyl Alcohol ensures maximum solvency and minimal contaminants, which is crucial for pharmaceutical, electronics, and laboratory applications where product purity impacts performance and safety.

Q: How is Isopropyl Alcohol manufactured?

A: Isopropyl Alcohol is produced from propylene through the hydration process, followed by purification steps to achieve technical or pharmaceutical grade alcohol with a purity of at least 99%.

Q: What precautions should be taken during the use of Isopropyl Alcohol?

A: Always work in a well-ventilated area and avoid inhaling vapors or direct skin contact. Due to its low flash point and high vapor pressure, keep away from heat or electrical sources and use appropriate personal protective equipment when handling.
