Product Information

Full details

Trade Chemicals Pure Chem Isopropanol 99% is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who require a high-purity solvent for precision cleaning and surface preparation. Its key benefit is its 99.9% purity, which ensures it evaporates quickly without leaving conductive residue on sensitive electronics, making it ideal for circuit boards and optical lenses. The primary caveat is that, due to its high concentration and rapid evaporation, it is highly flammable and must be handled with proper ventilation and stored away from heat sources or open flames.

FAQs

Is this safe for touchscreens?

While 99% IPA is often used for electronics, always check the manufacturer's manual, as some screen coatings may be damaged by high-concentration solvents.

Can I dilute this with water?

Yes, you can dilute it for general-purpose cleaning, but remember that adding water reduces the rapid-evaporation and non-conductive properties of the 99% purity level.

Is it safe to use on internal circuit boards?

Yes, because it is 99.9% pure and contains almost no water, it is safe for circuit boards provided the device is powered off.

How should I store the bottle?

Keep it in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated cupboard, strictly away from heat sources and ensure the cap is tightened fully.

Can this be used as a disinfectant?

While it is a powerful solvent, its rapid evaporation means it may not stay on surfaces long enough to meet specific contact time requirements for effective disinfection.

Troubleshooting

Visible streaks left after cleaning

Usually caused by using a dirty rag or cloth. Switch to a fresh, lint-free microfiber cloth.

Product evaporates too quickly to clean heavy grease

Apply a slightly larger amount to the cloth or perform multiple passes to keep the area wet longer.

Slight residue remaining on glass

Ensure the surface was free of heavy contaminants first; a final wipe with a dry, clean cloth should clear any residual traces.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use this product, always apply it with a clean, lint-free cloth or a high-quality cotton swab. For electronics, ensure the device is completely powered down and disconnected from any power source before cleaning. While compatible with most metals, glass, and hard plastics, it is advisable to test a small, inconspicuous area first if you are unsure about the compatibility of a specific plastic coating or finish. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and moisture absorption. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, strictly avoiding proximity to heat, sparks, or open flames, and ensure the product is kept out of reach of children and pets.
