Isopropyl Alcohol Market to Reach a Volume of 2.29 Million Tons by 2022
Isopropyl alcohol, also known as rubbing alcohol, is an organic dissolving agent with a strong alcoholic odour. It is a clear, colourless, volatile and combustible liquid exhibiting high viscosity at high temperatures. It is miscible in water, ether, chloroform and other alcohols except for saline solutions. As isopropyl alcohol has degreasing and disinfectant properties, it is popularly used as a cleaner and an antiseptic.
Isopropyl alcohol is generally manufactured in different concentrations. The commercially manufactured alcohol usually contains nearly 70% alcohol and is used for general cleansing, sterilizing and other cleaning purposes. On the other hand, highly concentrated form contains 90-99% of the alcohol and is used as a preservative for biological specimens.
