Isopropyl alcohol

Isopropyl alcohol (IPA)

Isopropyl alcohol, also known as isopropanol or simply isopropyl, is a clear and colourless solvent used worldwide in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, electronics and manufacturing. Its fast evaporation, strong solvency and reliable purity make it a highly effective cleaning and disinfecting agent that supports several formulations and production processes.

Nedstar supplies isopropyl alcohol from 99.5% to 99.9% purity. Our grades deliver consistency, traceability and a strong quality profile for every application.
