What is Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA)?
Isopropyl Alcohol (C₃H₈O), also known as Isopropanol or Rubbing Alcohol, is a colorless, flammable solvent with a distinct odor. It is widely used in disinfection, cleaning, medical preparation, and electronics maintenance due to its ability to dissolve oils, greases, and resins.
As a secondary alcohol, IPA is highly effective in both household and industrial settings, and its rapid evaporation rate makes it ideal for moisture-sensitive applications.
