Applications

In HPLC, 2-propanol is used as a mobile phase solvent to separate and identify compounds of interest. Its high purity and low levels of impurities make it ideal for this application.

Other uses of 2-propanol include:

• As a solvent for oils, gums, and resins
• In the manufacture of acetone, glycerol, and other chemicals
• As a cleaning agent for electronic components and precision instruments
• In the production of personal care products such as lotions and perfumes
• As a disinfectant and antiseptic agent.

General

2-Propanol 99.95% HPLC is a high-purity grade of isopropyl alcohol, also known as IPA or 2-propanol. It is designed for use in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) applications, where purity and low levels of impurities are critical.

This grade of 2-propanol has a minimum purity of 99.95% and is anhydrous, meaning it contains no water. It is produced using a multi-step distillation process to ensure high purity and consistency.

2-Propanol is a clear, colourless liquid with a characteristic odour. It is a versatile solvent that is commonly used in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and chemical industries, as well as in laboratories.
