Isopropyl alcohol Uses
Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is widely used as an affordable solvent in industrial and consumer products, replacing ethanol in many cases. It serves as a solvent in printing processes like flexography, lithography, and gravure, and is used for cleaning tools and laboratory dilutions. In the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, IPA is a key ingredient in scrubs, lotions, antiseptics, and other products. It is also used in paints, cleaners, and surface sterilization, including in hospitals and food processing plants.
IPA is essential in electronics for cleaning circuit boards, optical discs, and electronic components. It’s also used as a fuel additive, deicer, and a raw material in various chemical syntheses. Different grades of isopropyl alcohol are available, with the highest quality used in flavors and medications.
