used as a solvent for coatings or for industrial processes.popular for pharmaceutical applications. used as a chemical intermediate.It is also used as a gasoline additive.Isopropyl alcohol may be converted to acetone, but the cumene process is more significant.Isopropyl alcohol is esterified to give isopropyl acetate, another solvent. It reacts with carbon disulfide to give sodium isopropylxanthate, a weed killer. Isopropyl alcohol reacts with titanium tetrachloride and aluminium metal to give titanium and aluminium isopropoxides respectively, the former a catalyst, and the latter a chemical reagent.This compound may serve as a chemical reagent in itself, by acting as a dihydrogen donor in transfer hydrogenation.Disinfecting pads typically contain a 6070% solution of isopropyl alcohol in water. A 75 % v/v solution in water may be used as a hand sanitizer.Isopropyl alcohol is used as a water-drying aid for the prevention of otitis externa, better known as swimmer's ear.Isopropyl alcohol is a major ingredient in "gas dryer" fuel additives. In significant quantities, water is a problem in fuel tanks, as it separates from the gasoline, and can freeze in the supply lines at cold temperatures. It does not remove water from gasoline; rather, the alcohol solubilizes water in gasoline. Once soluble, water does not pose the same risk as insoluble water as it will no longer accumulate in the supply lines and freeze. Isopropyl alcohol is often sold in aerosol cans as a windscreen de-icer. Isopropyl alcohol is also used to remove brake fluid traces from hydraulic braking systems, so that the brake fluid (usually DOT 3, DOT 4 or mineral oil) does not contaminate the brake pads, which would result in poor braking.
