While rubbing alcohol often contains isopropyl alcohol, they're not identical. Rubbing alcohol typically contains 70% isopropyl alcohol mixed with water and other additives. Our isopropyl alcohol is much purer and more concentrated, ranging from 99.5% to 99.9%, making it suitable for industrial, cosmetic, and electronic applications where high purity is essential.

Ethyl alcohol (ethanol) and isopropyl alcohol are different chemical compounds with distinct properties. Ethyl alcohol is commonly used in beverages, pharmaceuticals, and as a fuel additive, while isopropyl alcohol is primarily used as a cleaning solvent and disinfectant. Isopropyl alcohol evaporates faster and has superior degreasing properties, making it ideal for electronics and precision cleaning applications.

High-grade isopropyl alcohol offers superior performance for industrial and commercial applications. The higher purity provides better cleaning efficacy, faster evaporation rates, and minimal residue. This makes it ideal for electronics manufacturing, precision cleaning, and applications where water content must be minimised. You can also dilute it to your exact specifications for specific applications.

When using isopropyl alcohol to clean, always ensure proper ventilation as it's highly flammable with a flash point of approximately 12°C. Use appropriate PPE, including gloves and eye protection. Store away from heat sources and ignition. Our comprehensive Safety Data Sheets (SDS) provide detailed handling guidelines for each grade. The fast evaporation rate makes it excellent for cleaning applications, but proper safety protocols are essential.
