Isopropyl alcohol 80 % or isopropanol 80 %, also known as IPA, for use in the chemical-technical field (e.g. for surface disinfection against viruses, bacteria and spores). Isopropanol in a concentration of 80 % is very suitable for disinfection, as it penetrates the cell walls of microorganisms ideally and thus effectively destroys the entire cell.
