isopropyl alcohol An organic compound, the isomer of n-propanol, also known as dimethyl methanol, 2-propanol, and IPA in industry. It is a colorless, clear liquid with an odor like a mixture of ethanol and acetone. Soluble in water, also soluble in alcohol, ether, benzene, chloroform and other most organic solvents. Isopropyl alcohol is an important chemical product and raw material. Mainly used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, plastics, spices, coatings and so on.
Isopropyl alcohol, commonly known as fire wine, is a colorless flammable liquid with a strong odor at room temperature and pressure, molecular formula C3H8O. Isopropyl alcohol is the simplest secondary alcohol and is one of the isomers of propanol.
It has a smell similar to ethanol and acetone, slightly bitter and flammable. Miscible with water, ethanol, ether and chloroform, insoluble in salt solution. Can form azeotropic mixture with water (12.3% water content). Easy to produce peroxide. Low toxicity, median lethal dose (rat, oral) 2524mg/kg. High concentration of steam is narcotic and irritating

It is widely used as organic raw material and solvent. As chemical raw materials, can produce acetone, hydrogen peroxide, methyl isobutyl ketone, diisobutyl ketone, isopropyl amine, isopropyl ether, isopropyl alcohol ether, isopropyl chloride, and fatty acid isopropyl ester and isopropyl chloride fatty acid, etc. In fine chemical industry, it can be used to produce isopropyl nitrate, isopropyl xanthate, triisopropyl phosphite, aluminum triisopropyl alcohol, medicine and pesticides. As a solvent, it can be used in the production of paints, inks, extractants, aerosol agents, etc. It can also be used as antifreezing agent, cleaning agent, additive to blend gasoline, dispersant for pigment production, fixative for printing and dyeing industry, antifogging agent for glass and transparent plastics, etc. Used as adhesive thinner, also used for antifreeze, dehydrating agent, etc.
