Is 70% IPA isopropyl alcohol safe (CAS 67-63-0)?
70% isopropyl alcohol upholds key requirements for use as a bactericidal in cleanrooms or medical facilities, but also for general purposes. 70% IPA/30% water solutions produce less vapor and odor, therefore reducing risks of toxic fumes or combustion. When isopropyl alcohol reacts with air, light, and oxygen, it forms unstable peroxides which increase the likeliness of explosion, especially when heated with aluminum. IPA volatility increases with storage time and alcohol concentration, especially when exposed to light over multiple years after opening.
70% IPA is less flammable but also offers a more economical price point for general wipe down and large-surface disinfection. Likewise, high-moisture alcohols evaporate slower and increase contact time without becoming immediately dry.
How to Properly Use and Store 70% IPA (CAS 67-63-0)?
Storage
Store isopropyl alcohol in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. The ideal storage location consists of:
- A hazardous chemical storage area or utility closet
- Away from heat sources, sparks, open flames, and other ignition sources
- Not in corridors that form part of an escape route
- At least 1.2 meters apart from other dispensers if placed in circulation areas
- Consider using a flammable safety cabinet for larger quantities, which is the best storage option.
Personal Protective
- Ventilation: Use in well-ventilated areas, wearing a respirator if ventilation is poor.
- PPE: Wear safety goggles and chemical-resistant gloves.
- No ignition sources: Keep away from flames, sparks, hot surfaces and electrical outlets.
- Avoid contact: Do not breathe vapours, get them in your eyes or ingest them. Wash any contact areas thoroughly.
