❓ 1. What is this product?
It’s isopropyl alcohol (IPA) at 99.8% purity — a clear, colourless solvent widely used for cleaning, degreasing and surface preparation.
❓ 2. What does “IPA” mean?
IPA stands for Isopropyl Alcohol, also known as isopropanol or rubbing alcohol.
❓ 3. What can I use it for?
Common uses include:
• Cleaning electronics, screens & lenses
• Removing grease, fingerprints & smudges
• Removing glue or sticky residue
• Surface prep before painting or bonding
• Glass, metal, plastic & general cleaning tasks
❓ 4. How do I apply it?
Apply IPA with a lint‑free cloth, cotton swab or sprayer, then wipe the surface and let it evaporate. It dries quickly and usually leaves no residue behind.
❓ 5. Is it safe to use on electronics?
Yes — IPA is commonly used to clean electronic contacts, circuit boards and lenses because it evaporates quickly and doesn’t conduct electricity once dry.
❓ 6. Can it disinfect surfaces?
At this high purity, isopropyl alcohol does have disinfectant properties, but is often used more for cleaning and surface prep than as a medical/hand sanitiser.
❓ 7. Is it flammable?
Yes — IPA is highly flammable and produces vapours that can ignite, so use and store it away from open flames, sparks or high heat.
❓ 8. Do I need to dilute it?
Typically no — at 99.8% purity it’s used undiluted for best results, especially for degreasing and specialist cleaning tasks.
❓ 9. Are there safety precautions I should take?
Yes — wear gloves and eye protection, work in a well‑ventilated area, and avoid skin or eye contact or ingestion. IPA vapour can be harmful if inhaled in large amounts.
