Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9% (IPA) is a high-purity solvent used for cleaning and disinfecting a wide range of surfaces, electronics and equipment. It evaporates quickly and leaves no residue, making it ideal where a fast-drying, streak-free finish matters. Used neat for general cleaning and degreasing, or diluted to around 70% for surface disinfection — 100% alcohol actually evaporates too quickly to give bacteria and viruses enough contact time to be killed effectively.
