Isopropyl alcohol is one of the most effective products in cleaning and disinfection. But these are not its only uses, as it is a type of component that has numerous professional applications.
In this article we will talk about what isopropyl alcohol is, also known as ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL, what are its different uses and measures that must be taken into account when buying it.
Isopropyl alcohol (also known as isopropanol) is a type of solvent that has nothing to do with the alcohol they sell in the pharmacy, but is a more aggressive product because it can be harmful if not used correctly.
Being a highly flammable product, you have to use it with caution and, above all, be very careful when storing it.
Its main characteristics are that it is colorless, transparent and has a strong odor, although it also depends on the type of product that contains this alcohol. Likewise, another advantage of this product is its rapid evaporation, which allows a total cleaning without leaving traces of stains or traces.
It is usually used:
This type of alcohol is ideal for cleaning all types of surfaces and materials, since it removes dirt very easily without leaving residues, while performing a very effective disinfection. Among the elements and objects that can be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol are:
Disinfectant. It is often used as a disinfectant, especially for hands, parts and surfaces. It is common for the containers of wipes or some gels to appear on the label this type of chemical. Isopropyl alcohol prevents microorganisms from growing and reproducing on the skin.
Cleaning. This type of material is usually used in specific objects, such as electronic equipment. It is advisable that these are turned off and completely disconnected. It can also be used to clean glass, camera filters, mirrors, blinds and even floors.
Another of its uses is to clean makeup tools such as brushes, in addition to printing sheets.
Removes stains on materials of different natures such as wood, fabrics, cotton, etc. As well as traces of oil-based paint.
Industry. In the industrial sector, isopropyl alcohol is used as a solvent in paints or dyes, in the same way that it serves as a solvent for resins. This is why it can be used to clean the remains of resin in the cavities of the 3D parts.
It even works as a flux remover in welding work and as a solvent in joinery, for lacquer polishing and also for coatings.
Just as it can be used in the FX art world, as an activator of makeup palettes such as those of theSkin Illustrator, Neill's Materials and bluebird FX brands of Feroca.
You have to be careful when using this product because it is flammable and has a strong smell, as mentioned above. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account a series of steps to use it properly:
If you want what you have cleaned to be shiny, pass a dry cotton cloth or paper on the surface so that it has shine. This step should be done quickly, as it usually evaporates immediately. Also, do not leave traces or marks in the area where you have applied it.
In Feroca you can also buy isopropyl alcohol in spray. This format will make it very easy to clean and transport your materials if you have to move.
We recommend that you read the safety data sheet carefully to ensure its correct use. Even so, it is necessary that you take into account a series of elements before applying the product on any surface or object:
Gloves. The use of gloves is essential to take care of the skin.
Avoid contact and inhalation. Don't inhale alcohol, especially if it hasn't been diluted with water or other products, as it can damage your airways.
Also, avoid contact with the eyes and other soft parts of the body. The most recommended is to work with this product in an area with good ventilation.
Keep in mind that, in beauty products, there is a small percentage of this product that is mixed with other ingredients, so it is not harmful to our skin.
Store it in a suitable place. Store this product out of extreme temperatures or heat sources to avoid hazards.
