2-Propanol, also known as isopropyl alcohol, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C3H8O. It is a colorless, flammable liquid with a strong odor, and is one of the most commonly used solvents. 2-Propanol is miscible with water, ethanol, ether and chloroform, and is commonly used as a cleaner, antiseptic, and solvent for many industrial processes.
2-Propanol is primarily used as a solvent for paints and varnishes, as a fuel in engines, and as a precursor to many other chemicals. It is also used as a raw material for the production of acetone and i-propanol, and is a key ingredient in many pharmaceuticals, including antiseptics, cough medicines, and rubefacients. It is also used as a preservative in cosmetics and other products.
In addition to its many uses as a solvent and raw material, 2-Propanol has been identified as an environmental contaminant, as it is highly toxic to aquatic organisms. As such, it is important to ensure that it is not released into the environment through improper disposal. 2-Propanol should be stored in a well-ventilated area and should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
