Compressed alcohol ISO -

CAS-Nummer: 64-17-5, 200-661-7

For chemical-technical applications.

Application

The special, high-purity alcohol mixture, without residual water content, is primarily used as a solvent and cleaning agent in the chemical industry. Especially in the field of offset printing and in the printing ink sector or as an additive in antifreeze agents in the automotive sector. Due to its high solvency and high volatility, it is also used as a solvent for coatings in metal casting, among other applications. In addition, its germicidal effect is undisputed when used against viruses and bacteria.

Precautions

Wash hands and other exposed body parts with mild soap and water before eating, drinking or smoking and when leaving the workplace. Provide process area with good ventilation to prevent formation of vapors. Do not expose to open flames. Do not smoke. Use only non-sparking tools. Avoid inhalation of dust/fume/gas/mist/vapor/aerosol. Use only outdoors or in well-ventilated areas. Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after use.

Further information

Alcohols are always used in offset printing. Nevertheless, the use  of pure isopropanol or isopropyl alcohol is controversial because it does not fully correspond to the approach of CO2-neutral printing due to the origin of the alcohol (petroleum-based). In this respect, a reduced use of isopropyl alcohol is desirable. With printing alcohol from chemiekontor.de, the amount of IPA used is reduced by 40 percent compared to conventional processes. Without having to adjust processes in use.

Storage

Store only in the original container in a cool, well-ventilated place. Keep container closed when not in use. Avoid direct sunlight.
