Isopropyl Alcohol

Isopropyl alcohol is a colorless, flammable chemical compound with chemical formula C₃H₈O with a strong odor. As an isopropyl group linked to a hydroxyl group, it is the simplest example of a secondary alcohol, where the alcohol carbon atom is attached to two other carbon atoms. It is a structural isomer of 1-propanol and ethyl methyl ether.

Isopropyl Alcohol is manufactured using the direct hydration process which is an extremely efficient and environmental-friendly process. It produces a sparkling colorless product of high purity with no undesirable odor or by-product formation. The Product meets International Standards for use in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, specialty chemicals, and other critical applications.
