FAQs

As one of the purest forms of alcohol available, 99.5% isopropyl alcohol is perfect for use as an industrial cleaning agent or disinfectant, particularly in contexts where a lower concentration wouldn’t work as effectively or where a higher water content wouldn’t be appropriate. Although water is a component in many cleaning products, it can sometimes cause damage if it comes into persistent contact with certain electrical items. For this reason, 99.5% is widely used in industries such as circuit board and computer manufacturing. 99.5 isopropyl alcohol evaporates at a faster rate than lower concentrations, leaving electrical components free from residue. This also makes it a good choice for a multi-purpose surface cleaner as it can clean glass, plastics, metals and woods without fear of corrosion or leaving any unsightly smears or marks!

Additionally, whereas alcohol cleaners and disinfectants under 50% IPA lose effectiveness overtime, 99.5 isopropyl has a high concentration of alcohol which makes it particularly useful for cleaning medical equipment, labs and hospitals as well as tackling tough grease and grimey residues. You’ll find it can also be an effective ingredient in many paint thinners or paint strippers.

The main differences between isopropyl alcohol and rubbing alcohol are its concentration and its main components. Whilst rubbing alcohol commonly contains isopropyl alcohol, its concentration generally falls between 68% to 72%. The rest of the solution is then made up of water with various additions such as perfumes, colourings and stabilizers. It’s also common for rubbing alcohol to contain certain denaturants that are toxic or mildly poisonous, making the solution unsuitable for humans to consume.

As it is, rubbing alcohol is also a much more effective antiseptic than pure isopropyl, especially a 99.5% isopropyl alcohol, because the lower proof and higher water content allow it to combat the bacterial cells. In short, isopropyl alcohol of around 70%, when in a solution with added denaturants, water and FDA approved ingredients, is classified as rubbing alcohol for household use. Anything classified as isopropyl alcohol is purely that, without any of the noted additions.

The quick answer to this is both yes and no. A frequent use of 99.5% IPA is for cleaning minor surface skin wounds such as cuts and scrapes. It is also extensively used within the tattoo and piercing industry to clean bacteria from skin before a procedure. Given this, it’s safe to say that yes, 99.5 isopropyl alcohol is safe to use on the skin - but sparingly and only in very small doses.

Whilst 99.5% is useful for disinfecting, it has a very high concentration of alcohol, which means it can be dangerous if used without care. It should never be ingested, and should never be used to clean deep wounds or piercings after they have been made. 99.5% IPA may also cause skin irritation and if a large amount comes into contact with the skin for a prolonged period of time, it can cause even more serious issues.
