Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA)

Description

What is Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA)?

Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA), also known as 2-propanol or isopropanol, is a colorless, flammable chemical compound with a strong odor. It is one of the most widely used industrial and household solvents due to its fast evaporation rate, excellent solvency, and disinfectant properties.

IPA is produced through the hydration of propylene, either by indirect hydration (sulfuric acid process) or direct hydration. Its versatility makes it indispensable across pharmaceutical, cosmetic, industrial, and electronics industries.

At Chemex Chemicals, we are a leading importer and supplier of high-quality Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) in India, ensuring consistent purity, safe packaging, and timely delivery to meet diverse industrial requirements.
