ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL = IPA

CAS Number: 67-63-0
EC Number: 200-661-7
Molecular Formula: C3H8O

Isopropyl alcohol, also called 2-propanol, one of the most common members of the alcohol family of organic compounds. 
Isopropyl alcohol was the first commercial synthetic alcohol.

Chemists at the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey (later Exxon Mobil) first produced Isopropyl alcohol in 1920 while studying petroleum by-products.
Isopropyl alcohol is easily synthesized from the reaction of propylene with sulfuric acid, followed by hydrolysis.

Isopropyl alcohol also referred to as isopropanol, is a flammable colorless liquid with a strong odor. 
Isopropanol is used across a wide range of industries to manufacture several household and industrial chemicals. 

Moreover, isopropanol is a key ingredient in multiple chemical formulations, such as detergents, disinfectants, and antiseptics. 
The typical production processes include indirect hydration, direct hydration, and hydrogenation of acetone.

Isopropyl alcohol is not limited to just sanitizing and cleaning surfaces.
Isopropyl alcohol has a host of uses in a variety of industries.

As a solvent, IPA works extremely well because Isopropyl alcohol evaporates almost instantly, is relatively non-toxic compared to other solvents, and leaves no trace oils on a surface.
Computer technicians use IPA to remove thermal paste from CPU heatsinks and clean optical disk lenses. 

They also use Isopropyl alcohol to clean their eyeglasses.
In the medical field, isopropyl alcohol is a major ingredient in products like rubbing alcohol, hand sanitizer, and surgery wipes. 

Isopropyl alcohol is an essential part of the medical industry.
In laboratory settings, IPA comes in handy as an alternative to formaldehyde, which is used primarily as a specimen preservative. 

In addition, IPA is often used in DNA extraction.
IPA can be combined with acetate to create isopropyl acetate, a powerful solvent. 

Isopropyl alcohol also reacts with carbon disulfide and sodium hydroxide to make a widely-used herbicide.
In the automotive industry, isopropyl alcohol is a major ingredient in fuel additives, as Isopropyl alcohol works extremely well to “dissolve” any water that may be floating in a fuel tank. 
Isopropyl alcohol is also used to remove excess brake fluid from braking systems.

Isopropyl Alcohol is a water soluble, clear, colorless, fast evaporating solvent for lacquer, lubricants and many gums and resins, including polyester and nitrocellulose resins.

In some cases the hydration of propylene is carried out in one step, using water and a catalyst at high pressure. 
Isopropyl alcohol is mixed with water for use as a rubbing-alcohol antiseptic. 

Isopropyl alcohol is also used in aftershave lotions, hand lotions, and other cosmetics. 
In industry Isopropyl alcohol is used as an inexpensive solvent for cosmetics, drugs, shellacs, and gums, as well as for denaturing ethanol (ethyl alcohol). 

Added to wet gas, Isopropyl alcohol helps to prevent separation and freezing of a water layer. 
Isopropyl alcohol is easily oxidized to acetone, another important solvent.

Isopropyl alcohol is usually a better and less toxic solvent than EtOH (and is uncontaminated with acetaldehyde), so Isopropyl alcohol is preferable to the more common solvents.

Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is the clear choice for your antiseptic, sanitizing, and disinfectant needs. 
Whether you’re manufacturing surface disinfectants, hand sanitizers, or alcohol wipes.
IPA is fast, safe, and simple as compared with three other common active ingredients.

Isopropyl Alcohol is an isomer of propyl alcohol with antibacterial properties. 
Although the exact mechanism of isopropanol's disinfecting action is not known, Isopropyl alcohol might kill cells by denaturing cell proteins and DNA, interfering with cellular metabolism, and dissolving cell lipo-protein membranes. 
Isopropanol is used in soaps and lotions as an antiseptic.

Isopropyl alcohol is volatile, colorless liquid with a sharp musty odor like rubbing alcohol. 
Flash point of 53°F. 

Isopropyl alcohol vapors are heavier than air and mildly irritating to the eyes, nose, and throat. 
Density approximately 6.5 lb / gal. 

Isopropyl alcohol is used in making cosmetics, skin and hair preparations, pharmaceuticals, perfumes, lacquer formulations, dye solutions, antifreezes, soaps, window cleaners. 
Isopropyl alcohol is sold in 70% aqueous solution as rubbing alcohol.

Isopropyl alcohol is a secondary alcohol that is propane in which one of the hydrogens attached to the central carbon is substituted by a hydroxy group. 
Isopropyl alcohol has a role as a protic solvent.

Isopropanol or isopropyl alcohol is a clear, colorless liquid that is a major component of rubbing alcohol as well as regular household items such as cleaners, disinfectants, and hand sanitizers.
Isopropyl alcohol also can be found in pharmaceuticals.

Isopropyl alcohol (IPA), also referred to as isopropanol, is a chemical that’s commonly found in rubbing alcohol, hand sanitizers, and certain cleaning products

Isopropyl alcohol is also referred to as IPA, isopropanol, 2-propanol, and even rubbing alcohol. 
Isopropyl alcohol dissolves a wide range of polar and non-polar soils, is Isopropyl alcohol is often used to dissolve and remove light oils, fingerprints, cutting fluids, flux residues, carbon deposits, and mold release. 
Isopropyl alcohol is also readily miscible in water, so can be used as a drying agent as well.

For electronic printed circuit board (PCB) assembly, you will find isopropyl alcohol being used to clean flux residues from recently soldered circuit boards or in PCB repair and rework. 
IPA is also used to remove solder paste or adhesive from SMT stencils. 
Maintenance cleaning with isopropyl alcohol is common for removing caked-on and burnt-on flux from SMT reflow ovens, wave soldering fingers, selective soldering nozzles, pallets, and anywhere else flux tends to collect in automated soldering processes.

Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is a clear, colorless and volatile material with a light odor. 
Isopropyl alcohol possesses physico-chemical and solvency properties similar to those of ethyl alcohol, making Isopropyl alcohol completely miscible with water and soluble in most organic solvents.

Isopropyl alcohol is one of the most used alcohols in cosmetics. 
Discovered in the 1920s, Isopropyl alcohol is synthesized from a reaction between propylene and sulfuric acid, followed by hydrolysis. 
Isopropyl alcohol is used as an antiseptic in cosmetics: Isopropyl alcohol is found for example in aftershave lotions, hand lotions.

The chemical, however, has multiple antimicrobial properties, and blending 60% to 90% of the chemical with 10% to 40% water, which is purified, can rapidly work against several viruses, bacteria, and fungi. 
However, if the concentration of the substance is below the 50% mark, the disinfecting characteristics drop substantially. 
Moreover, if the concentrations are equal to or more than 91%, the alcohol forms a protective layer by coagulating proteins rapidly, which eventually forms a protective layer, thereby stopping other protein coagulation on the skin.

With the recent outbreak of coronavirus worldwide, one of the most highly used products were sanitizers. 
The ability of the formulation to protect the skin from the penetration of viruses or any other microorganisms led to high sales in the first quarter of 2020. 
The utilization of isopropyl alcohol in the formulation of these sanitizers globally was extremely high and the European market reflected low availability of the chemical towards the end of the first quarter of 2020.

Uses of Isopropyl Alcohol:

In 1990, 45,000 metric tonnes of isopropyl alcohol were used in the United States, mostly as a solvent for coatings or for industrial processes. 
In that year, 5400 metric tonnes were used for household purposes and in personal care products. 

Isopropyl alcohol is popular in particular for pharmaceutical applications, due to Isopropyl alcohol low toxicity. 
Some isopropyl alcohol is used as a chemical intermediate. 
Isopropyl alcohol may be converted to acetone, but the cumene process is more significant.

Solvent:
Isopropyl alcohol dissolves a wide range of non-polar compounds. 
Isopropyl alcohol evaporates quickly and the typically available grades tend to not leave behind oil traces when used as a cleaning fluid unlike some other common solvents. 

Isopropyl alcohol is also relatively non-toxic. 
Thus, Isopropyl alcohol is used widely as a solvent and as a cleaning fluid, especially for situations where there can be oils or other oil based residues which would not be easily cleaned with water, conveniently evaporating and (depending on water content, and other potential factors) posing less of a risk of corrosion or rusting than plain water. 
Together with ethanol, n-butanol, and methanol, Isopropyl alcohol belongs to the group of alcohol solvents.

Isopropyl alcohol is commonly used for cleaning eyeglasses, electrical contacts, audio or video tape heads, DVD and other optical disc lenses, removing thermal paste from heatsinks on CPUs and other IC packages.

Intermediate:
Isopropyl alcohol is esterified to give isopropyl acetate, another solvent. 
Isopropyl alcohol reacts with carbon disulfide and sodium hydroxide to give sodium isopropylxanthate, a herbicide and an ore flotation reagent.

Isopropyl alcohol reacts with titanium tetrachloride and aluminium metal to give titanium and aluminium isopropoxides, respectively, the former a catalyst, and the latter a chemical reagent.
Isopropyl alcohol may serve as a chemical reagent in itself, by acting as a dihydrogen donor in transfer hydrogenation.

Medical:
Rubbing alcohol, hand sanitizer, and disinfecting pads typically contain a 60–70% solution of isopropyl alcohol or ethanol in water. 
Water is required to open up membrane pores of bacteria, which acts as a gateway for isopropyl alcohol. 

A 75% v/v solution in water may be used as a hand sanitizer.
Isopropyl alcohol is used as a water-drying aid for the prevention of otitis externa, better known as swimmer's ear.

Inhaled isopropyl alcohol can be used for treating nausea in some settings by placing a disinfecting pad under the nose.

Early uses as an anesthetic:
Although isopropyl alcohol can be used for anesthesia, Isopropyl alcohol many negative attributes or drawbacks prohibit this use. 
Isopropyl alcohol can also be used similarly to ether as a solvent or as an anesthetic by inhaling the fumes or orally. 

Early uses included using the solvent as general anesthetic for small mammals and rodents by scientists and some veterinarians. 
However, Isopropyl alcohol was soon discontinued, as many complications arose, including respiratory irritation, internal bleeding, and visual and hearing problems. 
In rare cases, respiratory failure leading to death in animals was observed.

Automotive:
Isopropyl alcohol is a major ingredient in "gas dryer" fuel additives. 
In significant quantities, water is a problem in fuel tanks, as Isopropyl alcohol separates from gasoline and can freeze in the supply lines at low temperatures. 

Alcohol does not remove water from gasoline, but the alcohol solubilizes water in gasoline. 
Once soluble, water does not pose the same risk as insoluble water, as Isopropyl alcohol no longer accumulates in the supply lines and freezes but is dissolved within the fuel itself. 

Isopropyl alcohol is often sold in aerosol cans as a windshield or door lock deicer. 
Isopropyl alcohol is also used to remove brake fluid traces from hydraulic braking systems, so that the brake fluid (usually DOT 3, DOT 4, or mineral oil) does not contaminate the brake pads and cause poor braking. 
Mixtures of isopropyl alcohol and water are also commonly used in homemade windshield washer fluid.

Laboratory:
As a biological specimen preservative, isopropyl alcohol provides a comparatively non-toxic alternative to formaldehyde and other synthetic preservatives. 
Isopropyl alcohol solutions of 70–99% are used to preserve specimens.

Isopropyl alcohol is often used in DNA extraction. 
A lab worker adds Isopropyl alcohol to a DNA solution to precipitate the DNA, which then forms a pellet after centrifugation. 
This is possible because DNA is insoluble in isopropyl alcohol.

Isopropyl alcohol uses include adhesives & cements, all-purpose cleaners, anti-fungal creams, antifreeze, cleaning compounds, cleaning fluids, cosmetics, coupling agent, degreaser, dehydrating agent, deicing fluid, disinfectant, extraction solvent, glass cleaners, hair care, hair colorants, ink solvent, lacquers, lithographic ink, mascara, nail polish, nitrocellulose lacquers, paint solvent, preservative, printing, solvent.

Pharmacology of Isopropyl Alcohol:
Isopropanol (i.e., isopropyl alcohol) is a clear, colorless, bitter liquid commonly found in “rubbing alcohol,” skin lotion, hair tonics, aftershave lotion, denatured alcohol, solvents, cements, cleaning products, and de-icers. 
Intoxication may occur through ingestion or inhalation of vapors, especially in infants. 

Isopropanol is rapidly absorbed by the gastrointestinal system and reaches a peak serum concentration 15 to 30 minutes after ingestion with an elimination half-life of 3 to 7 hours. 
Isopropanol is directly responsible for the toxic effects observed, and delaying the metabolism of isopropanol therefore is not considered a beneficial method of treatment. 

Isopropyl alcohol is converted to acetone by alcohol dehydrogenase, which is then excreted in the urine and breath. 
The lethal dose ranges from 150 to 240 mL, although patients may become symptomatic with doses as low as 20 mL.

Properties of Isopropyl Alcohol:
Isopropyl alcohol is miscible in water, ethanol, and chloroform as, like these compounds, isopropyl is a polar molecule. 
Isopropyl alcohol dissolves ethyl cellulose, polyvinyl butyral, many oils, alkaloids, and natural resins.

Unlike ethanol or methanol, isopropyl alcohol is not miscible with salt solutions and can be separated from aqueous solutions by adding a salt such as sodium chloride. 
The process is colloquially called salting out, and causes concentrated isopropyl alcohol to separate into a distinct layer.

Isopropyl alcohol forms an azeotrope with water, which gives a boiling point of 80.37 °C (176.67 °F) and a composition of 87.7% by mass (91% by volume) isopropyl alcohol. 
Alcohol mixtures have depressed melting points.
Isopropyl alcohol has a slightly bitter taste, and is not safe to drink.

Isopropyl alcohol becomes increasingly viscous with decreasing temperature and freezes at −89 °C (−128 °F).
Isopropyl alcohol has a maximal absorbance at 205 nm in an ultraviolet-visible spectrum.

Chemical and Physical Properties of Isopropyl Alcohol:
A volatile colorless or lightly amber colored liquid with an acid lightly mouldy odor of denaturated alcohol (ethanol and acetone mixture), mixes well with water.

Production of Isopropyl Alcohol:
In 1994, 1.5 million tonnes of isopropyl alcohol were produced in the United States, Europe, and Japan.
Isopropyl alcohol is primarily produced by combining water and propene in a hydration reaction or by hydrogenating acetone.

There are two routes for the hydration process and both processes require that the isopropyl alcohol be separated from water and other by-products by distillation. 
Isopropyl alcohol and water form an azeotrope, and simple distillation gives a material that is 87.9% by mass isopropyl alcohol and 12.1% by mass water. 
Pure (anhydrous) isopropyl alcohol is made by azeotropic distillation of the wet isopropyl alcohol using either diisopropyl ether or cyclohexane as azeotroping agents.

Biological of Isopropyl Alcohol:
Small amounts of isopropyl alcohol are produced in the body in diabetic ketoacidosis.

Indirect hydration of Isopropyl Alcohol:
Indirect hydration reacts propene with sulfuric acid to form a mixture of sulfate esters. 
This process can use low-quality propene, and is predominant in the USA. 

These processes give primarily isopropyl alcohol rather than 1-propanol, because adding water or sulfuric acid to propene follows Markovnikov's rule. 
Subsequent hydrolysis of these esters by steam produces isopropyl alcohol, by distillation. 

Diisopropyl ether is a significant by-product of this process.
Isopropyl alcohol is recycled back to the process and hydrolyzed to give the desired product.

Direct hydration of Isopropyl Alcohol:
Direct hydration reacts propene and water, either in gas or liquid phase, at high pressures in the presence of solid or supported acidic catalysts. 
This type of process usually requires higher-purity propylene (> 90%).
Direct hydration is more commonly used in Europe.

Hydrogenation of acetone:
Isopropyl alcohol can be prepared via the hydrogenation of acetone.
However, this approach involves an extra step compared to the above methods, as acetone is itself normally prepared from propene via the cumene process. 

IPA cost is primarily driven by raw material (acetone or propylene) cost. 
A known issue is the formation of MIBK and other self-condensation products. 
Raney nickel was one of the original industrial catalysts, modern catalysts are often supported bimetallic materials.

Reactions of Isopropyl Alcohol:
Isopropyl alcohol can be oxidized to acetone, which is the corresponding ketone. 

This can be achieved using oxidizing agents such as chromic acid, or by dehydrogenation of isopropyl alcohol over a heated copper catalyst:
(CH3)2CHOH → (CH3)2CO + H2

Isopropyl alcohol is often used as both solvent and hydride source in the Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley reduction and other transfer hydrogenation reactions. 
Isopropyl alcohol may be converted to 2-bromopropane using phosphorus tribromide, or dehydrated to propene by heating with sulfuric acid.

Like most alcohols, isopropyl alcohol reacts with active metals such as potassium to form alkoxides that are called isopropoxides. 

With titanium tetrachloride, isopropyl alcohol reacts to give titanium isopropoxide:
TiCl4 + 4 (CH3)2CHOH → Ti(OCH(CH3)2)4 + 4 HCl

This and similar reactions are often conducted in the presence of base.
The reaction with aluminium is initiated by a trace of mercury to give aluminium isopropoxide.

History of Isopropyl Alcohol:
In 1920, Standard Oil first produced isopropyl alcohol by hydrating propene. 
Isopropyl alcohol was oxidized to acetone for the preparation of cordite, a smokeless, low explosive propellant.

Proper Handling and Storage Procedures 
Before working with isopropyl alcohol, individuals should be trained in Isopropyl alcohol proper handling and storage and know how to use proper personal protective equipment. 
Store the compound in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. 

Keep away from heat, sparks, flames and other sources of ignition, as well as strong oxidizers, acetaldehyde, chlorine, ethylene oxide, acids and isocyanates. 
A flammable safety cabinet is the best storage option.

Isopropyl alcohol is highly flammable and can easily ignite. 
Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air, traveling to a source of ignition and flash back. 
Use of water spray to fight fires may be inefficient.

Safety & Toxicology of Isopropyl Alcohol:
Isopropyl alcohol is important to use caution when working with isopropyl alcohol, since Isopropyl alcohol is flammable and can have some negative health effects. 
For example, inhaling isopropyl alcohol vapors may irritate your respiratory tract, and high concentrations of isopropyl alcohol vapor can cause dizziness, drowsiness, headache, staggering and unconsciousness. 

Ingestion of isopropyl alcohol can cause gastrointestinal issues such as cramps, vomiting and nausea. 
Isopropyl alcohol can also irritate your skin and eyes, as well as cause eye damage. 
To avoid accidental overexposure to isopropyl alcohol, you may wish to take precautions such as wearing protective equipment – such as lab goggles and protective gloves – as well as working with isopropyl alcohol in a well-ventilated area.

Health safety of Isopropyl Alcohol:
The vapors can cause light irritation of the eyes and upper respiratory passages, and can have in a high concentration an anesthetic effect. 
Isopropyl alcohol has an irritating effect for mucous membranes and eyes – Isopropyl alcohol can cause such an injury as cornea abrasion. 

Isopropyl alcohol is harmless for the skin, however a prolonged contact (above 4 hours) can damage the central nervous system. 
If consumed, Isopropyl alcohol causes intoxication and vomiting. 
A prolonged contact with that substance can damage the liver, stomach and the cardiovascular system.

Isopropyl Alcohol Anhydrous and USP grades are colorless, volatile, flammable liquids with a very slight odor.
Unlike ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol has a bitter taste, some undesirable side effects and little ability to produce exhilaration. 
As a result, the U.S. government does not regulate or tax Isopropyl alcohol manufacture or sale.

Common Routes, Effects and First Aid of Isopropyl Alcohol: 

Inhalation: 
Leave the contaminated area immediately and take deep breaths of fresh air. 
If symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or burning in the mouth, throat or chest develop, call a doctor.

Contact with Skin: 
Flood the skin with water. 
Remove and isolate contaminated clothing. 

Gently and thoroughly wash all affected skin areas with soap and water. 
Call a doctor if symptoms such as redness or irritation develop.

Contact with Eyes: 
Check the victim for contact lenses; remove if present. 
Flush eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20-30 minutes and call a hospital or the poison control center. 

Do not put any ointments, oils or medication in the victim’s eyes without instructions from a doctor. 
Transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms such as redness or irritation develop.

Ingestion: 
Do not induce vomiting; volatile chemicals have a high risk of being aspirated into the lungs during vomiting. 
If the victim is conscious and not convulsing, give 1-2 glasses of water to dilute the chemical. 

Call a hospital or the poison control center. 
If the victim is convulsing or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth, ensure that the victim’s airway is open and lay the victim on his or her side with the head lower than the body. 

Personal Protective Equipment of Isopropyl Alcohol: 

Clothing: 
Avoid skin contact with isopropyl alcohol. 
Wear chemical-resistant clothing and protective gloves compatible with isopropyl alcohol. 

Nitrile gloves are best suited for prolonged contact, but Silvershield/4H gloves are also acceptable. 
Check with the glove manufacturer for recommended use and duration guidelines.

Eye Protection: 
Employees should use indirect vented splash goggles when there is any possibility of isopropyl alcohol exposure. 
A gravity-feed eyewash or plumbed eyewash should be located within 10 seconds of the hazard location.

Respiratory Protection of Isopropyl Alcohol: 
Engineering controls should be implemented to reduce environmental concentrations to the OSHA time weighted average (400 ppm). 
Use respirators when engineering and work practice controls are not feasible or are being installed. 

Respiratory protection should be NIOSH approved for isopropyl alcohol and used in accordance with the OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard, 29 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) 1910.134. 
The appropriate cartridge for isopropyl alcohol protection is organic vapor. 

Any exposure over the allowed exposure for the cartridge style used or of unknown concentrations, such as uncontrolled releases, the user must don a supplied air respirator, such as an airline respirator, an ambient air pump system or a pressure-demand SCBA. 
Limit respirator use to those who have been medically cleared, adequately trained and fitted for the respirator face piece.
