Details: Isopropanol Alcohol IPA 99.99% dissolves a wide range of non-polar compounds. It also evaporates quickly, therefore leaves nearly zero oil traces. In comparison to ethanol, IPA is relatively non-toxic, compared to alternative solvents. As a result, it is used widely as a solvent and as a cleaning fluid, especially for dissolving oils. Consequently, examples of this application include cleaning electronic devices such as contact pins (like those on ROM cartridges), magnetic tape and disk heads (such as those in audio and video tape recorders and floppy disk drives), the lenses of lasers in optical disc drives (e.g., CD, DVD) and removing thermal paste from heatsinks and IC packages (such as CPUs). Rubbing alcohol, hand sanitizer, and disinfecting pads typically contain a 30–70% solution of isopropyl alcohol depending on the exact use. Also, Isopropyl alcohol is a major ingredient in "gas dryer" fuel additives. In addition, IPA is a biological specimen preservative. Therefore Isopropyl alcohol provides a comparatively non-toxic alternative to formaldehyde and other synthetic preservatives. Isopropyl alcohol solutions of 70–99% are used to preserve specimens.
