A: "Isopropyl 99" refers to isopropyl alcohol with 99% minimum purity. This grade is essential in electronics, pharmaceuticals, and high-precision manufacturing, as it ensures fast-drying, leaves no residue, and avoids introducing water or ionic contamination—a key for semiconductor & medical device processes.
A: Common standards include ISO 9001:2015, FDA 21 CFR for pharmaceutical grade, USP/EP/BP pharmacopoeias, REACH Registration (EU), and RoHS for electronic compatibility. High-purity batches are tested via GC-MS and must meet USP for heavy metals, bioburden, aldehydes, and nonvolatile residue.
A: Standard formats: 1 Gallon (3.78L) HDPE bottles, 5 Gallon (18.9L) container111s, 200L drums, and 1000L IBCs. Each is UN-certified for safe chemical storage and transport under ADR/IMDG standards.
A: Isopropyl alcohol has a slightly lower boiling point and evaporates faster. It is less hygroscopic (less water absorption from air), offering better surface residue control for electronics and is less aggressive to plastics, but is less suitable than ethanol for pharmaceutical ingestibles.
A: Unopened isopropyl alcohol (99%) has a shelf life of 24–36 months if stored in tightly sealed, opaque container111s away from sunlight and heat as per ANSI/ISEA Z358.1 and ISO 7767.
A: For drum/IBC dispensing, use ATEX-certified pumps to prevent static discharge. Storage areas need to comply with NFPA 30 (flammable liquids), have <25°C ambient, and chemical-resistant secondary containment.
A: Yes. Each isopropyl alcohol for sale batch is delivered with Certificate of Analysis (CoA), MSDS, and—on request—FTIR, GC-MS, and ionic content test reports, with full traceability.
