High-purity Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA 99.9%) rapid-evaporating solvent for electronics cleaning, sanitizers, pharmaceuticals, and flexographic printing in Kenya.
Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA 99%) is a widely specified fast-evaporating polar solvent and disinfectant. Because it dissolves a wide range of non-polar compounds and leaves zero residue upon evaporation, it is essential for hand sanitizer manufacturing, electronic circuit board cleaning, pharmaceutical extraction, and flexographic printing ink formulation.
Technical Description
Colorless, highly volatile liquid with a sharp alcohol odor. Ultra-low water content (<0.10%) and non-volatile residue (<0.001%) ensure residue-free evaporation. Fully compliant with USP/BP pharmaceutical monographs.
