isopropyl alcohol

Isopropyl alcohol, also known as rubbing alcohol, is a common chemical used for sanitizing and cleaning. It is a type of alcohol that can effectively kill germs, bacteria, and viruses on surfaces or skin. It typically appears as a clear, colorless liquid with a strong, distinctive smell. Isopropyl alcohol evaporates quickly, making it useful for disinfecting electronic devices, medical tools, and household surfaces. It is also used as a solvent in various cleaning agents and in industrial applications. While effective, it should be used with care, kept away from open flames, and stored properly to ensure safety.
