Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9% ACS Reagent Grade

Product Overview

Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9% ACS Reagent Grade is a high-purity, volatile solvent used across specialized industrial sectors. It is also known as propan-2-ol, with the chemical formula C3H8O and a molecular weight of 60.10. Operating as a critical component in analytical laboratory protocols, precision manufacturing processes, and specialized coatings formulations, this high-assay fluid delivers consistent performance. In industrial contexts, maintaining a strict concentration of 99.9% is paramount to preventing unexpected reaction dynamics or product contamination. Alliance Chemical provides this high-purity solvent through our alcohols collection to meet the rigorous demands of chemical synthesis, electronic component preparation, and advanced manufacturing processes.

Alliance Chemical provides this high-purity solvent to meet the rigorous demands of chemical laboratory operations, electronic component preparation, and advanced manufacturing processes. As a volatile, colorless liquid with a characteristic sharp odor, it is highly miscible with water and a wide variety of organic solvents. This exceptional versatility makes it indispensable in industrial applications where water-sensitive compounds are being processed. Buyers looking for reliable, high-specification performance in critical workflows consistently turn to our ACS Reagent Grade offering for their daily operations, ensuring total system compatibility and process control.

Why This Grade

When selecting a solvent for analytical testing, spectrophotometric analysis, or high-tech manufacturing, the choice of grade is critical. ACS Reagent Grade designates that this material meets or exceeds the strict purity specifications established by the American Chemical Society. Standard industrial grades of isopropanol often contain trace impurities, organic residues, or up to several percent water content. For sensitive processes like semiconductor manufacturing or precision polymer synthesis, even minuscule moisture or trace metal contamination can halt reactions, ruin substrates, or cause complete batch failures.

Utilizing a 99.9% concentration ensures that process variables remain tightly controlled. In dry-cleaning formulations, specialized coating applications, and electronic parts cleaning, any excess water can lead to corrosion, spotting, or unwanted phase separation. Choosing our ACS Reagent Grade removes these variables, allowing for consistent solubility and predictable evaporation rates. Utilizing inferior grades in high-precision processes introduces uncontrolled variables that compromise the integrity of the final industrial output.

Industrial Applications

• Industrial coatings and lacquer formulations where 99.9% purity is required to dissolve resins and facilitate rapid evaporation without leaving residue.
• Precision electronics manufacturing for cleaning sensitive circuitry, semiconductor wafers, and delicate optical components where moisture-free solvents are mandatory.
• Intermediate chemical synthesis where propan-2-ol acts as a reactant or solvent in producing high-value esters, agricultural chemicals, and specialty polymers.
• Analytical laboratory diagnostics and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) mobile phases requiring extremely low UV absorbance and high baseline stability.
• Formulation of industrial aerosol products, dye solutions, and specialized automotive antifreeze mixtures where precise viscosity and vapor pressure must be maintained.

Hazmat & Shipping

Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9% ACS Reagent Grade is classified as a regulated hazardous material for transport. It is officially designated as UN1219, Hazard Class 3 (Flammable Liquid), Packing Group II, with the Proper Shipping Name ISOPROPANOL. There is no subsidiary hazard class listed for this material. The authoritative GHS signal word for this chemical is Danger. Due to its classification as a highly flammable liquid and vapor, all shipping, handling, and logistics operations must strictly adhere to DOT hazmat compliance standards. We route all bulk shipments through qualified carriers.

Safe handling of this chemical requires strict compliance with personal protective equipment (PPE) guidelines designed to mitigate the hazards associated with its GHS classifications. Given the hazards of flammable liquid (H225), serious eye irritation (H319), and drowsiness or dizziness (H336), personnel must wear chemical-resistant gloves, protective safety goggles, and work in a well-ventilated area or use appropriate respiratory protection. Avoid breathing vapors, mist, or gas, and ensure proper grounding to prevent static discharge. Review the SDS for comprehensive compliance details.

Handling & Storage

Proper storage of Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9% ACS Reagent Grade is vital to maintain purity and prevent accidents. Store this volatile solvent in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated location, ideally at temperatures between 50°F and 85°F, away from direct sunlight, open flames, hot surfaces, and other ignition sources. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. This chemical is compatible with high-density polyethylene (HDPE), stainless steel, and carbon steel containers, but is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, acids, halogens, aluminum, and peroxides.
