Industrial Applications
Sanitizers & Disinfectants
70% IPA is the standard concentration for surface disinfection in healthcare, food processing, and cleanrooms — more effective than anhydrous at killing bacteria and viruses.
Electronics Cleaning
99% anhydrous IPA removes flux residues, fingerprints, and ionic contaminants from PCBs and precision optical components without leaving residue.
Pharmaceuticals
USP-grade IPA used as an excipient, topical antiseptic, and process solvent in API manufacturing and tablet coating operations.
Coatings & Inks
Solvent and diluent in water-based and solvent-based coatings, flexographic inks, and screen printing formulations.
Personal Care
Carrier solvent in hand sanitizers, aftershaves, astringents, and cosmetic formulations requiring fast evaporation.
Industrial Cleaning
Degreaser for metal parts, molds, and tooling. Effective against oils, greases, and light adhesive residues.
