Isopropyl alcohol, also known as rubbing alcohol, is a versatile substance widely used for its antiseptic properties. It serves as an essential ingredient in medical and household cleaning products due to its effectiveness in killing bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Its rapid evaporation rate makes it ideal for leaving surfaces residue-free, which is particularly valuable in healthcare settings for sterilizing equipment and surfaces. In industrial applications, isopropyl alcohol is a key solvent in the production of various products, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and paints.
In a significant development for the chemical industry in Iran, PSC Company is poised to become the first company to produce isopropyl alcohol domestically using its own licensed technology.
