Isopropyl alcohol (IUPAC name propan-2-ol and also called isopropanol or 2-propanol) is a colorless, flammable chemical compound (chemical formula CH3CHOHCH3) with a strong odor. As an isopropyl group linked to a hydroxyl group, it is the simplest example of a secondary alcohol, where the alcohol carbon atom is attached to two other carbon atoms. It is a structural isomer of 1-propanol and ethyl methyl ether.

Isopropyl alcohol is a colorless and transparent liquid with a smell similar to the mixture of ethanol and acetone. It can be miscible with alcohol, ether, chloroform and water. It can dissolve alkaloids, rubber, shellac, rosin, synthetic resin and other organic and some inorganic substances. It forms an azeotrope with water and is insoluble in salt solution. It can ignite and burn at room temperature,and its steam is easy to form explosive mixture when mixed with air.

It is used in the manufacture of a wide variety of industrial and household chemicals and is a common ingredient in chemicals such as antiseptics, disinfectants, and detergents.

Isopropyl alcohol uses

1.Isopropyl alcohol is widely used as organic raw material and solvent. As chemical raw materials, Isopropyl alcohol can produce acetone, hydrogen peroxide, methyl isobutyl ketone, diisobutyl
ketone, isopropylamine, isopropyl ether, isopropyl chloride, isopropyl fatty acid and chlorinated isopropyl fatty acid. In fine chemicals, Isopropyl alcohol can be used to produce isopropyl nitrate,
isopropyl xanthate, triisopropyl phosphite, aluminum isopropoxide, medicine and pesticides, as well as diisopropyl acetone, isopropyl acetate, thymol and gasoline additives.

2. As a solvent, isopropyl alcohol is a relatively cheap solvent in industry. It has a wide range of uses. It can freely mix with water. It has stronger solubility for lipophilic substances than ethanol.
It can be used as a solvent for nitrocellulose, rubber, coatings, shellac, alkaloids, etc. It can be used in the production of coatings, inks, extractants, aerosols, etc. It can also be used as
antifreeze, cleaner, additive for blended gasoline, dispersant for pigment production, fixing agent for printing and dyeing industry, antifogging agent for glass and transparent plastics, etc. Used
as thinner of adhesive, antifreeze, dehydrating agent, etc.

3. Determine barium, calcium, copper, magnesium, nickel, potassium, sodium, strontium, nitrite, cobalt, etc. as chromatographic standard.

4. Isopropyl alcohol is used as defoamer for water-based fracturing fluid in oil wells. Air forms explosive mixture, which can cause combustion and explosion in case of open fire and high heat,
and can react strongly with oxidant.

5. In the electronic industry, isopropyl alcohol can be used as cleaning and degreasing agent. In the oil industry, the extractant of cotton seed oil can also be used for degreasing of animal
derived tissue membrane.

 Isopropyl alcohol Application

 As organic raw materials and solvents have a range of uses. As a chemical raw material, to produce acetone, hydrogen peroxide, methyl isobutyl ketone, 2 isobutyl ketone, isopropylamine, isopropyl ether, isopropyl ether, isopropyl chloride, and isopropyl fatty acid and chlorine on behalf of the fatty acids, isopropyl, etc.. In the fine chemical industry, it can be used to produce isopropyl nitrate, xanthan acid isopropyl isopropyl phosphite 3, three aluminum isopropoxide, as well as medicine and pesticide. 

Usage
      Isopropanol is an important chemical product and raw material. Mainly used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, plastic, perfume, coating and electronic industry as dehydrating agent and cleaning agent. A reagent for the determination of barium, calcium, magnesium, nickel, potassium, sodium, strontium, etc. Chromatographic analysis of reference substances.

      In PCB manufacturing, it is used as a cleaning agent as well as making PCB holes conductive. Many people find it not only can be a good cleaning motherboard, and often can get the best results. In addition, it is also used for other electronic devices, including clean CD cartridges, floppy disk drives, magnetic tape, and CD or DVD players, and laser head drives.

      Isopropanol can also be used as a solvent for flexography, lithography, intaglio printing, and as a cleaning agent for equipment. In the ink also often contains this component. It is also an important solvent for laboratory dilution and extraction. Isopropanol is also used as a gasoline additive and as a deicing agent for fuel pipelines.

      In the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industry, isopropanol is used in the manufacture of lotion, hand and body lotions, preservatives, and pharmaceutical reddening agents. It is also used in paints, thinners, paints, detergents and polishes, as well as for surface sterilization, hospital disinfection, food processing and so on.

     Isopropanol is used as a low-cost solvent and as an extractant in many industrial and consumer products and in many cases as an alternative to ethanol.

     Isopropanol is also used as a solvent for oils and colloids and in the manufacture of fish meal feed concentrates. Low quality isopropanol is used in automobile fuels. The use of isopropanol as raw material for acetone production is decreasing. Several compounds are synthesized from isopropanol, such as isopropyl ester, methyl isobutyl ketone, isopropylamine, diisopropyl ether, isopropyl acetate, thymol, and many esters. Different quality isopropanol can be supplied according to the end use. The conventional quality of anhydrous isopropanol is more than 99%, while the content of special-grade isopropanol is more than 99.8% (used in essence and medicine).

1. Isopropyl Alcohol Used in pharmaceutical,cosmetics, plastic, perfume, coatings, etc.

2. Can produce acetone, hydrogen peroxide and isopropylamine, etc.
