Isopropyl alcohol, also known as rubbing alcohol, is a versatile compound with a wide range of applications. Here are some of the main applications of isopropyl alcohol:

Disinfectant: Isopropyl alcohol is widely used as a disinfectant and antiseptic due to its ability to kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms. It is commonly used for sterilizing surfaces, medical equipment, and in personal hygiene products such as hand sanitizers.

Cleaning Agent: Isopropyl alcohol is an effective cleaning agent due to its ability to dissolve oils, greases, and other contaminants. It is commonly used for cleaning electronic components, lenses, and precision instruments. It evaporates quickly, leaving no residue behind.

Solvent: Isopropyl alcohol is a versatile solvent that is used in various industries for dissolving and diluting a wide range of substances. It is commonly used as a solvent for paints, inks, dyes, and in the production of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.

Medical Applications: Isopropyl alcohol is used in the medical field for various applications. It is used for disinfecting and cleaning medical equipment and surfaces. It is also used as a cooling agent for reducing fever, and as a solvent for medications and topical solutions.

Deicing Agent: Isopropyl alcohol is used as a deicing agent in cold weather conditions. It helps to melt ice and prevent the formation of frost on windshields, aircraft, and other surfaces.

Alcohol Fuel: Isopropyl alcohol can be used as a fuel source or as a component in fuel blends. It can be used as a clean-burning alternative fuel in specially designed alcohol-burning engines or as a fuel additive to improve combustion in gasoline engines.

Laboratory and Industrial Applications: Isopropyl alcohol is commonly used in laboratories as a cleaning and disinfecting agent. It is also used in industrial processes for degreasing, cleaning electronic components, and as a solvent in manufacturing various products.

Personal Care and Cosmetics: Isopropyl alcohol is used in the formulation of personal care and cosmetic products. It is commonly used as a solvent for fragrances, as a preservative, and as an ingredient in antiperspirants and deodorants.

It's important to note that isopropyl alcohol is highly flammable and should be handled with proper safety precautions. It should be stored in a well-ventilated area away from ignition sources.

According to UN GHS Criteria

Highly flammable liquid and vapour
Causes serious eye irritation
May cause drowsiness or dizziness 

Transportation
UN Classification
UN Hazard Class: 3; UN Pack Group: II 

Physical State; Appearance
COLOURLESS LIQUID. 

Physical dangers
The vapour mixes well with air, explosive mixtures are easily formed. 

Chemical dangers
Reacts with strong oxidants. This generates explosion hazard. Decomposes on heating. This produces irritating fumes and flammable and toxic gas. Attacks some plastics and rubber. 

Formula: C₃H₈O / CH₃CHOHCH₃
Molecular mass: 60.1
Boiling point: 83°C
Melting point: -90°C
Relative density (water = 1): 0.79
Solubility in water: miscible
Vapour pressure, kPa at 20°C: 4.4
Relative vapour density (air = 1): 2.1
Relative density of the vapour/air-mixture at 20°C (air = 1): 1.05
Flash point: 11.7°C c.c.

Routes of exposure
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its vapour. 

Effects of short-term exposure
The substance is irritating to the eyes and respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system. Exposure far above the OEL could cause unconsciousness. 

Inhalation risk
A harmful contamination of the air will be reached rather slowly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C; on spraying or dispersing, however, much faster. 

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dryness and cracking.
