Isopropyl alcohol is used in the manufacture of acetone, glycerol, isopropyl acetate, shellacs, quick drying inks, and creosote. It is a solvent for essential and other oils, alkaloids, gums, resins, coatings and cellulose, and a deicing agent for liquid fuels, lacquers, and extraction processes. It is also used in antifreeze compositions and as an antiseptic (Sax, 1987
Howard, 1990
Merck, 1989).
Isopropyl alcohol is registered as an antimicrobial, bactericide, fungicide, and virucide. It is used for sterilizing and disinfecting surfaces in hospitals, dairy farms, food processing plants, eating establishments, and in household dwellings. Isopropyl alcohol is also registered for use as a topical disinfectant in animal areas in and around the house, in veterinary institutions, farm structures, poultry areas, and in hatcheries and zoo animal premises. It is registered for use in barbershops for cleaning hair cutting and styling instruments and equipment. Isopropyl alcohol is also registered as an adjuvant, used to facilitate pesticide applications in agricultural settings, and as an adjuvant in industrial water washer, cooler, and condenser systems (DPR, 1996).
