Recochem Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) is better than 99 per cent isopropanol for industrial cleaning and formulating, in 20 L drums (minimum 4) and 200 L drums.

What it does

This is a clear, colourless alcohol that mixes with water and with hydrocarbon solvents. Recochem supplies it for cleaning and formulating jobs that need to stay free of water, and notes it is often a step up from ethanol where more solvency is needed. Printers use it in fountain solutions, and it also goes into cleaning blends, coatings reducers and laboratory work. It evaporates readily and leaves surfaces dry.

Where to use it

Printing works, electronics and maintenance workshops, laboratories, manufacturers blending cleaners or coatings, and any site that needs a quick drying wipe down for glass, metal or equipment. Part of our solvents and thinners range.

How to use

1. Wiping: dampen a lint free cloth, wipe the surface and let it air dry.
2. Printing: dose into fountain solution at the rate your press chemistry supplier sets.
3. Formulating: blend per your recipe; it mixes freely with water and hydrocarbons.
4. Close the drum after use to stop evaporation and moisture pick up.

Safe on / avoid

Suits glass, metals, ceramics and most hard surfaces. Test acrylics, some plastics and fresh coatings first, since alcohol can craze or soften them. Keep it away from heat, sparks and strong oxidants. Read the Safety Data Sheet before use.
