Product Overview
Isopropyl Alcohol 85% is a concentrated alcohol-based solvent used across industrial cleaning, printing, manufacturing and general solvent applications.
The 85% concentration provides strong solvent action while retaining a controlled water component.
Typical Technical Characteristics
| Property | Typical Reference |
| SKU | MCS-I1 |
| Isopropyl Alcohol | 85% |
| Appearance | Clear, colourless liquid |
| Formula | C₃H₈O |

Physical properties such as density and flash point depend on whether the concentration is expressed on a mass or volume basis and on any additional denaturants. These should therefore be taken from the applicable Mining Chemicals SA batch specification rather than inferred from pure IPA data. A South African SDS confirms commercial Propan-2-ol 85% as a flammable IPA formulation.
Applications
- Industrial cleaning
- Equipment cleaning
- Printing processes
- Ink manufacture
- Paint and coating formulations
- Surface preparation
- Degreasing
- Electronics cleaning where the grade is appropriate
- General industrial solvent use
Key Benefits
- Effective solvent
- Rapid evaporation
- Completely miscible with water
- Good cleaning performance
- Suitable for numerous industrial formulations
Important Grade Note
The website should specify 85% IPA without automatically advertising it as pharmaceutical, food or disinfectant grade.
Any regulated or critical cleaning application should be matched to the corresponding certified product specification.
Storage
Highly flammable. Store in approved flammable-liquid areas away from heat, sparks, flames and oxidising chemicals.
