FAQs
1. What distinguishes ER grade Iso Propyl Alcohol from technical grade?
ER (Extra Pure/Reagent) grade Iso Propyl Alcohol signifies a higher level of purity with minimal impurities, making it suitable for precise laboratory applications where contaminant-free results are crucial. Technical grade may contain more impurities and is generally used for less critical industrial or general cleaning purposes.
2. Can Iso Propyl Alcohol ER be used as a disinfectant?
Yes, Iso Propyl Alcohol ER is an effective disinfectant. Concentrations typically ranging from 70% to 90% are commonly used to sanitize surfaces and equipment in laboratories due to its ability to denature proteins and dissolve lipids, thus killing microorganisms.
3. What safety precautions should be followed when handling Iso Propyl Alcohol ER?
When handling Iso Propyl Alcohol ER, it is crucial to ensure adequate ventilation, wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection, and avoid open flames or sparks as it is highly flammable. Store it in a cool, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials.
4. Is Iso Propyl Alcohol ER suitable for sensitive electronics cleaning?
Due to its high purity, rapid evaporation, and lack of residue, Iso Propyl Alcohol ER is often chosen for cleaning sensitive electronics, including circuit boards and delicate components, to remove contaminants without leaving corrosive or conductive residues.
5. How should Iso Propyl Alcohol ER be disposed of?
Disposal of Iso Propyl Alcohol ER should comply with local environmental regulations for hazardous waste. It should never be poured down drains. Consult your institution’s safety officer or local waste management authority for proper disposal procedures.
