1L 99.9% Isopropyl Alcohol

What is isopropyl alcohol?

Isopropyl alcohol is a liquid solvent that is characterised by its rapid evaporation, so it cleans delicate elements in depth without leaving any residue or impurity. The formula of isopropyl alcohol is C3H8O, therefore it is also known as isopropanol or propanol.

USES:

99.9% isopropyl alcohol: its high purity allows you to eliminate all types of viruses and bacteria without leaving any trace. This allows you to clean and disinfect all types of electronic, magnetic and optical components.

However, thanks to its characteristics, it is ideal for cleaning IT components such as mobile phones, computers and televisions with isopropyl alcohol. This is due to its high volatility and fast evaporation; these devices are usually very delicate and require special care, so the use of other solvents could damage them. Moisten wipes with isopropyl alcohol and wipe the surface. This can also be done with a toothbrush or a fine bristle brush.

It also works as a stain remover for all types of fabrics. If you have been wondering how to clean ink stains from clothes with isopropyl alcohol, simply soak cotton wool in it and rub the stain gently.

Another common use of isopropyl alcohol is to clean and disinfect floors and walls, especially when they are mouldy. However, extreme care must be taken as this product is not suitable for all surfaces. Therefore, we recommend its use on blackened tiles and joints. Avoid wood and dilute the product in water (in equal quantities) for cleaning marble and scrubbing tiled floors.

Isopropyl Alcohol vs Ethyl Alcohol

As detailed above, isopropyl alcohol is characterised by its rapid evaporation, leaving no trace of minerals or ions.

While isopropyl alcohol is ideal for cleaning objects and electronic devices, ethyl alcohol is a liquid intended for skin disinfection and wound healing, i.e., it is an antiseptic and bactericidal product.

Therefore, if you use ethyl alcohol to clean electronic devices, you can contaminate them with minerals and ions, which can cause them to stick to the wrong places or cause electricity in the micro tracks of the cards.

In other words, extra care must be taken when cleaning delicate devices, so it is recommended to use the right solvent, in this case ethyl alcohol, to avoid damaging them and causing unwanted results.

Warnings:

• It is a very flammable liquid, so it is advisable to keep it away from high temperatures and fire.
• It should not be inhaled as it causes sore throat, cough and headache. Thus, it is advisable to have good ventilation while using the product.
• The use of isopropyl alcohol for disinfection of skin wounds is not recommended as it causes drying of the skin.
• Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes, so the use of protective goggles ensures greater safety.
• Keep away from children.

Keep in a cool and dry place.
