Isopropyl alcohol(IPA)

Application industries:

· Isopropyl alcohol is widely used as organic raw material and solvent. As chemical raw materials,Isopropyl alcohol can produce acetone, hydrogen peroxide, methyl isobutyl ketone, diisobutylketone, isopropylamine, isopropyl ether, isopropyl chloride, isopropyl fatty acid and chlorinatedisopropyl fatty acid. In fine chemicals, Isopropyl alcohol can be used to produce isopropyl nitrate,isopropyl xanthate, triisopropyl phosphite, aluminum isopropoxide, medicine and pesticides, aswell as diisopropyl acetone, isopropyl acetate, thymol and gasoline additives.

· As a solvent, isopropyl alcohol is a relatively cheap solvent in industry. It has a wide range ofuses. It can freely mix with water. It has stronger solubility for lipophilic substances than ethanol.It can be used as a solvent for nitrocellulose, rubber, coatings, shellac, alkaloids, etc. It can beused in the production of coatings, inks, extractants, aerosols, etc. It can also be used asantifreeze, cleaner, additive for blended gasoline, dispersant for pigment production, fixing agentfor printing and dyeing industry, antifogging agent for glass and transparent plastics, etc. Usedas thinner of adhesive, antifreeze, dehydrating agent, etc.

· Determine barium, calcium, copper, magnesium, nickel, potassium, sodium, strontium, nitrite,cobalt, etc. as chromatographic standard.

· Isopropyl alcohol is used as defoamer for water-based fracturing fluid in oil wells. Air formsexplosive mixture, which can cause combustion and explosion in case of open fire and high heat,and can react strongly with oxidant.

· In the electronic industry, isopropyl alcohol can be used as cleaning and degreasing agent. Inthe oil industry, the extractant of cotton seed oil can also be used for degreasing of animalderived tissue membrane.
