2-Propanol (Iso-propanol / Isopropyl alcohol / IPA)
Product Overview & Quality
- Product Name: 2-Propanol (Iso-propanol / Isopropyl alcohol / IPA)
- Brand: Kemaus (Product Code: KA-425)
- Grade: Analytical Reagent (AR Grade). Manufactured under stringent Kemaus laboratory protocols to guarantee ultimate purity with exceptionally low water content and non-volatile matter. It evaporates cleanly without leaving surface residues, making it ideal for high-precision analytical testing.
- Physical Properties: Clear, colorless, highly volatile liquid with a characteristic pungent alcoholic odor.
- Solubility: Completely miscible in all proportions with water, alcohol, acetone, and chloroform.
- Key Use: Heavily utilized as a core organic solvent in synthesis, molecular precipitation, and liquid-liquid extraction protocols. Widely applied in mobile phase preparations and system maintenance for advanced chromatography. Also functions as a premium laboratory disinfectant and specialized cleaning agent for decontaminating sensitive optical lenses, microscope parts, and analytical instrumentation surfaces.
Safety & Hazards (Critical)
- Classification: Highly flammable liquid and vapor. Causes serious eye irritation. May cause drowsiness or dizziness.
- Health Risks: Direct eye exposure triggers acute stinging irritation, intense watering, and redness. Inhalation of concentrated vapors may irritate the respiratory tract and induce central nervous system depression, leading to headaches, dizziness, or severe drowsiness.
- First Aid Measures: Immediately flush affected eyes or skin with plenty of flowing water for at least 15 minutes. If inhaled, move the victim to fresh air immediately. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
Handling & Storage
- Storage: Highly Flammable. Must be stored in its original, tightly sealed Kemaus container inside a dedicated flammable safety cabinet. Keep in a cool, dry, and excellently ventilated storage area at stable room temperature (below 30 degrees Celsius). Keep strictly away from open flames, sparks, hot surfaces, static discharge, and strong oxidizing agents.
- Precautions: Wear standard personal protective equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant laboratory gloves, safety glasses, and an organic vapor protective respirator. Handle strictly within a functioning fume hood to eliminate exposure to volatile vapors.
