Product Overview
Isopropyl Alcohol 50% Technical Grade is a pre-diluted aqueous solution of isopropyl alcohol (C3H8O) prepared with high-purity deionized water. This 50% concentration provides a convenient, ready-to-use form that eliminates the need for on-site dilution of concentrated stock. Appearance: Clear, colorless liquid with mild alcohol odor. This Technical Grade product is manufactured for industrial and commercial applications where high purity is required for consistent performance.
Supplied by Alliance Chemical in sizes ranging from 1 quart to 330-gallon IBC totes, this solution is ideal for operations requiring consistent 50% strength with minimal handling risk compared to higher concentrations.
