Isopropyl alcohol (IUPAC name propan-2-ol; also called isopropyl, isopropanol, or 2-propanol) is a colorless, flammable chemical compound (chemical formula CH3CHOHCH3) with a strong odor.

Isopropyl alcohol, particularly in solutions between 60% and 90% alcohol with 10 40% purified water, is rapidly antimicrobial against bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Once alcohol concentrations drop below 50%, usefulness for disinfection drops sharply. Notably, higher concentrations of alcohol dont generate more desirable bactericidal, virucidal, or fungicidal properties. Alcohol-based versions typically contain some combination of isopropyl alcohol, ethanol (ethyl alcohol), or n-propanol, with versions containing 60% to 95% alcohol the most effective. Alcohol-based hand sanitizer works against a wide variety of microorganisms but not spores. Compounds such as glycerol may be added to prevent drying of the skin. Some versions contain fragrances; however, these are discouraged due to the risk of allergic reactions. Non-alcohol based versions typically contain benzalkonium chloride or triclosan; but are less effective than alcohol-based ones.
Isopropyl alcohol is effective against viruses such as FCV at 40% 60% concentrations. Ethanol however, is more effective at 70% 90% concentrations against FCV. In other cases, isopropyl alcohol is more effective than ethanol at lower percentage concentrations.

Health Hazards:
Vapors cause mild irritation of eyes and upper respiratory tract; high concentrations may be anesthetic. Liquid irritates eyes and may cause injury; harmless to skin; if ingested causes drunkenness and vomiting.

Fire Hazards:
Highly flammable. Vapour/air mixtures are explosive. Risk of explosion on contact with strong oxidants.

First Aid:
EYES: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician.

Versatile Industrial Applications

Isopropyl Alcohol is uniquely suited for a diverse range of uses, including pharmaceutical, ink, and cleaning industries. Its purity and efficacy ensure it meets demanding standards for solvent performance, sanitation, and formulation tasks. As a solvent, it dissolves various compounds cleanly and evaporates quickly, leaving minimal residue. Its antiseptic properties make it essential for hygiene-sensitive applications, while its compatibility with different application methods, such as brushing, enhances its practicality.
