The Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) liquid is a high purity, multipurpose
cleaner and solvent. The purity level meets Grade A standard for MIL
Spec TT-I-735A and ASTM D770, ensuring that no contamination occurs from
its use.
As a cleaner, it is fully miscible in water and most organic fluids,
making it good at dissolving dirt, light organic contaminants, and ionic
flux residues. Since IPA is highly anhydrous (without water) and
hygroscopic (absorbs humidity), it readily scavenges water off surfaces,
trapping the water in the IPA solution as an azeotropic mixture. This
helps to dehumidify surfaces.
As a solvent, it acts as a moderate evaporation, ‘plastic safe’
diluent and is used to improve the
properties of paint resins and other heterogeneous solid mixtures.
Therefore, it serves as a useful carrier solvent to adjust the
rheological properties and compatibilities of complex mixtures. Due to
IPA’s volatility, it resists entrapment in the coating. As it dries, it
gives off a very light odor, which is not bothersome but serves as a cue
to limit over-exposure due to poor ventilation.
Applications & Usages
Since Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) is safe for most plastics, seals, ceramics, and printed
circuit board components, it is used heavily in the electronics
industry. It is great for cleaning screens, stencils, fiber optics,
cables, keypads, printed circuit board components, or electrical
contacts and connectors. It is also used to clean oxides and grime on
audio or video tape heads. It effectively removes light greases, oils,
and flux without adding additional residues to contacts, relays, and
circuit boards connectors. It is quick drying relative to water.
Further, it can be used to wash off more aggressive organic solvents
like acetone or toluene.
