8241 - 70% Isopropyl Alcohol
This product contains 70% isopropyl alcohol (aka rubbing alcohol), packaged in a convenient spray bottle for cleaning electronics. It effectively cleans ionic, polar and non-polar residues. It is safe on most painted surfaces, plastics, and elastomers. It leaves no residue and evaporates quickly relative to water. It is low toxicity compared to alternative solvents and is similarly relatively environmentally benign, being ozone safe with excellent “green solvent” scores.
This product is packaged in a spray bottle; however, it is also offered in presaturated wipe format. Additionally, we offer liquid 99.9% IPA and 99.9% IPA presaturated wipes.
