Isopropyl ALCOHOL
Distributor
Isopropyl alcohol (IUPAC name propan-2-ol also called isopropyl, isopropanol, or 2-propanol) particularly in solutions between 60% and 90% alcohol with 10 – 40% purified water, is rapidly antimicrobial against bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Once alcohol concentrations drop below 50%, usefulness for disinfection drops sharply.
Uses:
- Used in paint industry
- Used in perfumery industry
- Used as flavouring agents
- Used in therapeutic medicines
- Used for making sanitizers
Isopropyl alcohol is effective against viruses such as FCV at 40% – 60% concentrations. Ethanol however, is more effective at 70% – 90% concentrations against FCV. In other cases, isopropyl alcohol is more effective than ethanol at lower percentage concentrations.
