Isopropanol (IPA)

Product Overview

Isopropanol (IPA), also known as Isopropyl Alcohol, is a widely used industrial solvent and cleaning agent with excellent volatility, fast evaporation, and strong solvency. It is commonly applied in pharmaceuticals, electronics, coatings, cosmetics, and disinfectant formulations.

Isopropanol is valued for its ability to dissolve oils, resins, and organic compounds while leaving minimal residue, 

making it suitable for precision cleaning and industrial processing.
