Isopropyl alcohol, which is used as a low-cost solvent in many applications, is similar to ethyl alcohol in terms of solvent properties and evaporation rate. In case of combustion, it decomposes to form carbon monoxide, which is toxic.
Isopropyl alcohol (IPA); It is also used in the production of acetone and its derivatives, and other chemicals such as isopropyl acetate, isopropylamine, diisopropyl ether, isopropyl xanthate, fatty acid esters, herbicidal esters and aluminum isopropoxide.
