Product Information

Rubbing alcohol, sometimes called isopropyl alcohol, is a great multi-tasker, useful for shifting stubborn marks and disinfecting surfaces. However, it's important to exercise caution when you use it – both for your own health and safety and that of your delicate surfaces!

ISBN 978-0471419617.Isopropyl alcohol is oxidized to form acetone by alcohol dehydrogenase in the liver [32] and has a biological half-life in humans between 2.5 and 8.0 hours. [32] Unlike methanol or ethylene glycol poisoning, the metabolites of isopropyl alcohol are considerably less toxic, and treatment is largely supportive. Furthermore, there is no indication for the use of fomepizole, an alcohol dehydrogenase inhibitor, unless co-ingestion with methanol or ethylene glycol is suspected. [35] It is primarily produced by combining water and propene in a hydration reaction or by hydrogenating acetone. [17] [18] Rubbing alcohol can help to kill bacteria, as it is a natural bactericidal treatment, but that doesn’t mean it prevents bacteria growth. The dos of cleaning with rubbing alcohol

Isopropyl alcohol vapor is denser than air and is flammable, with a flammability range of between 2 and 12.7% in air. It should be kept away from heat, sparks, and open flame. [29] Distillation of isopropyl alcohol over magnesium has been reported to form peroxides, which may explode upon concentration. [30] [31] Toxicology [ edit ]Ishihara, K.; Yamamoto, H. (2001).

Uses [ edit ] One of the small scale uses of isopropanol is in cloud chambers. Isopropanol has ideal physical and chemical properties to form a supersaturated layer of vapor which can be condensed by particles of radiation.
