- Chemical Formula:
C3H8OC sub 3 H sub 8 O
C3H8O
- Appearance: Clear, colorless liquid
- Odor: Strong, distinct, alcohol-like smell
- Properties: Highly flammable, volatile (evaporates quickly), miscible with water and many organic solvents, and generally leaves no residue (especially at higher concentrations).
- Toxicity: Toxic if ingested; for external use only. Use in well-ventilated areas and keep away from heat or open flames.
- Antiseptic & Disinfectant: A 70% IPA solution (often sold as “rubbing alcohol,” which can be mixed from a 99% concentration) is optimal for killing bacteria and viruses on skin and surfaces because the water content helps the alcohol penetrate cell walls more effectively and slows evaporation. Uses include:
- Cleaning minor cuts and scrapes.
- Hand sanitizers and medical wipes.
- Disinfecting countertops, doorknobs, and other hard surfaces.
