Flammable liquids isopropyl alcohol

The U.S. domestic shipping name of isopropyl alcohol is UN No. 1219 Isopropanol. Anhydrous as well as water solutions to 91 vol % alcohol are considered flammable Hquid materials by the DOT. Both have flash poiats below 37.8°C by the Tag closed-cup method. Acceptable modes of transportation include air, rail, road, and water (124). For international air and water shipments, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) class is 3.2, the packaging group is II, and the primary hazard label required is "Flammable Liquid."...

Isopropyl Alcohol occurs as a clear, colorless, flammable liquid. It is miscible with water, with ethyl alcohol, with ether, and with many other organic solvents. Its refractive index at 20° is about 1.377. 

Use and exposure Propyl alcohol is a clear, colorless, volatile, flammable, fragrant liquid miscible with water and used as a solvent and antiseptic. It has two isomers n-propyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol. These alcohols have extensive use as chemical intermediates in a variety of industries— manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, perfumes, cosmetics, skin lotions, hair tonics, mouthwashes, and liquid soaps. They are also used as lacquers, dental lotions, polishers, and surgical antiseptics. - ... 

A flammable chemical substance is a solid, liquid, vapor, or gas that ignites easily and burns rapidly in air. Many of the flammable chemicals used in laboratories are flammable liquids and organic solvents. The vapors of these chemical substances form ignitable mixtures with air. Based on the flash points of these chemicals, classifications are made. The flash point of a chemical substance is defined as the lowest temperature at which a fuel-air mixture present above the surface of a liquid will ignite, if an ignition source is present. The common flammable chemical substances include, but are not restricted to, acetone, benzene, cyclohexane, ethanol, ethyl acetate, ethyl ether, gasoline, hexane, isopropyl alcohol, methanol, propanol, tetrahydro-furan and toluene, and xylene. 

Isopropyl alcohol is a clear, colorless, mobile, volatile, flammable liquid with a characteristic, spirituous odor resembling that of a mixture of ethanol and acetone it has a slightly bitter taste. 

Isopropyl alcohol (EYE-so-PRO-pil AL-ko-hol) is a colorless flammable liquid with a sweet odor. In 2004, about 600 million kilograms (about 1.3 billion pounds) of isopropyl alcohol were produced in the United States, with about half of that used as an industrial solvent and about a third used in the preparation of other chemical compounds. It is perhaps best known to many people as rubbing alcohol, usually a 70 percent solution of isopropyl alcohol in water. The compound is commonly used to clean a person s skin before an injection is given. It kills bacteria on the skin and prevents infection.
