Wet Isopropanol, 70%, High Color
Wet Isopropanol 70% is nominally 70% isopropanol with the balance being primarily water. The product contains up to 3% other solvents. This specific formulation has a relatively high color, which can limit its use in applications requiring color consistency. However, it is highly effective in situations where color is less important. For example, it works well in form release agents. It also serves as an initial solvent for materials soluble in high-color alcohols. This versatility makes it valuable in various industrial applications.
The primary uses of Wet Isopropanol 70% include cleaning and sanitizing surfaces, as well as serving as a solvent in various industrial processes. Its effectiveness as a cleaning agent is particularly valued in laboratories, manufacturing facilities, and healthcare settings, where it is used to disinfect equipment and surfaces due to its ability to dissolve oils and other contaminants effectively.
This formulation’s high water content also means it has a slower evaporation rate compared to more concentrated isopropanol solutions, allowing for extended contact time on surfaces, which can be beneficial for disinfection purposes. However, it’s important to note that while this solution is effective for many applications, it may not be suitable for tasks requiring high-purity or low-color solutions.
