2-Propanol 99.7% or Isopropyl alcohol

Product Overview & Quality

• Product Name: 2-Propanol 99.7% or Isopropyl alcohol or Isopropanol or IPA
• Brand: QReC (Product Code: QR-PR141-1-2500)
• Grade: Analytical Reagent (AR Grade) featuring a certified high chemical purity of 99.7 percent or higher. Produced and quality-verified under strict QReC global laboratory standards. Tightly regulated to ensure ultra-low ppm thresholds of non-volatile matter, water content, free acidity, and heavy metals. This refined polar solvent profile ensures pristine analytical results and prevents background interferences. Packaged in a heavy-duty amber glass bottle designed for maximum chemical stability and light protection.
• Physical Properties: Clear, colorless, highly volatile liquid with a characteristic sharp alcoholic odor. Highly flammable liquid and vapor with a low flash point.
• Solubility: Completely miscible in all proportions with water and common organic solvents, including ethanol, methanol, acetone, diethyl ether, and chloroform.
• Key Use: Heavily utilized as a versatile polar solvent for extracting active phytochemicals, lipids, and organic compounds in chemical and food testing laboratories. Widely applied as a mobile phase component or eluent modifier in thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and column chromatography. Frequently used as a reliable solvent matrix for preparing analytical standards and reagent solutions. Extensively employed as a cleaning, degreasing, and drying agent for laboratory glassware, optical components, and precision instruments, and acts as an effective antiseptic agent in microbiological workflows.

Safety & Hazards (Flammable)

• Classification: Highly flammable liquid and vapor. Causes serious eye irritation. May cause drowsiness or dizziness.
• Health Risks: Direct ocular contact triggers immediate stinging irritation, redness, and lacrimation. Prolonged dermal exposure strips natural skin lipids, leading to dry discomfort or localized irritation. Inhalation of concentrated vapor in confined areas suppresses the central nervous system, inducing headaches, dizziness, nausea, or acute drowsiness.
• First Aid Measures: Flush affected eyes or skin immediately with abundant flowing water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated garments. If vapors are inhaled, relocate the individual to fresh air promptly.

Handling & Storage

• Storage: Highly Flammable and Volatile Solvent. Vapors can migrate and ignite at distant ignition sources. Must be stored in its original, tightly sealed QReC amber glass bottle inside a dedicated flammable chemical safety cabinet. Keep in a cool, dry, and excellently ventilated zone at stable room temperature (below 30 degrees Celsius), sheltered from direct sunlight. Keep strictly isolated from open flames, sparks, hot surfaces, static discharge, and strong oxidizing agents.
• Precautions: Standard laboratory PPE is mandatory, including solvent-resistant gloves, splash-proof safety goggles, and a protective lab coat. Always handle and dispense inside a properly functioning laboratory fume hood to prevent vapor accumulation.
