Product Overview

iso-Propyl Alcohol 99.5% AR (CAS No. 67-63-0) is 2-propanol, a secondary aliphatic alcohol combining protic solvent behaviour with complete structural distinction from its primary-alcohol isomer, 1-propanol. Its hydroxyl group enables hydrogen bonding and broad miscibility with many common laboratory solvents, while its moderate polarity makes it useful for dissolution, extraction, washing and solvent-composition adjustment in conventional analytical work.

The AR grade is intended for routine analytical reagent preparation, sample handling, extraction and wet-chemical laboratory procedures requiring reagent-grade isopropanol.

Typical Applications

• Preparation of analytical reagent and sample solutions.
• Extraction and washing of suitable laboratory samples.
• Dilution of compatible organic analytes and reagents.
• Preparation of alcohol–water solvent systems for conventional analysis.
• Precipitation or solvent-exchange procedures where isopropanol is method-compatible.
• Laboratory QC and general analytical method development.

Common Synonyms

• Isopropanol
• 2-Propanol
• Propan-2-ol
• Isopropyl alcohol
• sec-Propyl alcohol
• Dimethyl carbinol
• IPA

Storage Conditions

Keep tightly closed to limit evaporation, moisture uptake and contamination during repeated analytical use. Minimise prolonged exposure to air and avoid concentrating aged material without appropriate consideration of possible peroxide formation.
