Versatile Pharmaceutical SolventIsopropyl Alcohol, medicine grade, excels as a solvent in pharmaceutical manufacturing, extraction, and compounding. Its purity level (99% min) ensures it meets stringent USP/BP/EP standards, making it ideal for preparing medicines and sanitizing equipment. Thanks to its broad solvency profile, it is compatible with water, alcohols, ethers, and many organic solvents, supporting diverse applications in healthcare and medicine.
Safe Storage and HandlingIPA must be stored in cool, dry, and well-ventilated areas away from ignition sources due to its low flash point (12C) and significant vapor pressure. Always keep containers tightly sealed and use appropriate safety measures, as it is classified as a flammable and toxic substance. Following recommended storage conditions preserves its stability and extends shelf life to 2 years, ensuring safe and efficient use.
