Isopropyl alcohol, also known as isopropanol and 2-propanol, is an isomer of 1-propanol. Isopropyl alcohol is a colorless, flammable liquid with a pleasant odor resembling rubbing alcohol and a slightly bitter taste. Isopropanol is a raw material used for the synthesis of acetone, glycerin, and other chemicals. It is also used as a solvent for oils, gums, creosote, and resins, and as a deicing agent for liquid fuels. A 70% solution of isopropanol in water is widely used as rubbing alcohol. It is also found in skin lotions, hair care and shaving products, some home aerosols, and pharmaceuticals. Isopropanol is also used in perfumes, soaps, and window cleaners. It is used in foods as a synthetic flavoring adjuvant and in nonalcoholic beverages, candy, and baked goods. For medical purposes, it is used as an antiseptic, disinfectant, in various liniments, tinctures, tonics, and as a bathing solution for surgical sutures and dressings.
