i-Propanol
Isopropanol, also known as i-propanol, isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or 2-propanol (C₃H₈O), is a clear, colourless, highly flammable liquid with a strong alcoholic odour. It is one of the most widely used industrial solvents and cleaning agents in the world.
I-propanol is commonly produced through the hydration of propylene, a petroleum by-product. It is used extensively in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, electronics manufacturing, automotive industries, laboratories and chemical processing plants.
It is highly flammable and can form explosive vapour-air mixtures, particularly in confined or poorly ventilated areas. Exposure to high concentrations of isopropanol vapour can cause dizziness, headaches, respiratory irritation and central nervous system effects.
Rockall Safety supplies Dräger detection tubes designed specifically for measuring i-propanol vapour concentrations in air (Drager Detection Tubes (i-Propanol 50/a) | Rockall Safety). These colourimetric gas detection tubes provide fast, on-the-spot measurements when used with a Accuro Dräger hand pump.
