Isopropyl alcohol is an organic chemical molecule with the molecular formula C3H7OH. It is a volatile liquid chemical that is colourless, combustible, and has a strong odour and harsh taste. Despite being miscible with water, a few other alcohols, including ether and chloroform, isopropyl alcohol are insoluble in salt solutions. It is mostly utilized as a solvent in the production of essential oils, resins, alkaloids, gums, cellulose, and coatings. It is also employed as a de-icing agent in the production of liquid fuels, lacquers, and extraction operations, as well as an antiseptic in anti-freeze compositions. Isopropyl alcohol is used to make glycerol, shellacs, quick-drying inks, isopropyl acetate, and creosote.
