Isopropyl Alcohol 99% - Technical Grade

Product Overview

Isopropyl Alcohol 99% - Technical Grade (also known as IPA, Isopropanol, or 2-Propanol) is a high-purity, colorless solvent engineered for demanding industrial applications. With a molecular formula of C3H8O and verified 99%+ concentration, this solvent provides aggressive solvency for non-polar compounds while maintaining excellent miscibility with water. It is characterized by rapid evaporation and low residue, making it the standard choice for critical cleaning, surface preparation, and chemical manufacturing.

As a Technical Grade solvent, this product is manufactured to support consistency in batch processing. It effectively dissolves oils, resins, alkaloids, and gums, serving as a primary component in extraction workflows and coating formulations. Its fast drying time makes it ideal for electronics manufacturing, 3D printing post-processing, and degreasing machinery without leaving conductive residues.
