Description :
Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) is an organic compound with the formula (CH3)2CH(OH). This clear, colorless liquid is widely used as a solvent.
IPA is very flammable with a high vapor pressure; use only with good ventilation and avoid all ignition sources.
IPA exposure is possible in both industrial and consumer applications. Occupational exposure limits have been established to control the allowable amount of exposure in workplace settings. Consumer exposure, generally infrequent and short in duration, is also highly dependent upon the conditions under which IPA is used.
IPA does not cause adverse health or environmental effects at levels typically found in the workplace or in the environment.
