Application
Isopropyl alcohol is used
- for acetone (dehydrogenation or partial oxidation) of hydrogen peroxide, methyl isobutyl ketone, isopropyl acetate, isopropyl amine and various other organic products
- as a solvent in paints and varnishes, perfumes, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, chemical industry;
- as extractant oils, natural resins and natural latex;
- as defroster and antifreeze;
- cellulose ethers as the solvent;
- as degreasing and cleaning agent;
- as the coolant in the cooling machines;
- as an alkylating agent;
- as an intermediate in the synthesis of several pharmaceuticals
Isopropyl alcohol is often a substitute for ethanol in many fields of application. So, isopropanol is part of cosmetics, household chemicals, disinfectants, repellents and more.
