MG Chemicals 824-1L, 99.9% Isopropyl Alcohol, 32 oz. ACS Reagent Grade Bottle, Case of 12
MG Chemicals 824-1L, 99.9% Isopropyl Alcohol, 1 Liter (32 oz.) ACS Reagent Grade Bottle, Case of 12
MG Chemicals 824-1L is 99.9% ACS reagent grade isopropyl alcohol (IPA) for cleaning electronics and precision equipment. A flammable, clear solvent that effectively removes ionic, polar, and non-polar residues. Anhydrous and hygroscopic — can be used to scavenge moisture and dehumidify surfaces. Low surface tension for excellent wetting and cleaning performance. Zero residue, fast evaporation, safe on most plastics and elastomers. NSF listed for use as a solvent for cleaning electronic instruments in and around food processing areas (not for direct food contact). CARB compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does ACS reagent grade mean for IPA?
ACS reagent grade indicates the IPA meets purity standards set by the American Chemical Society. At 99.9% purity, it contains minimal water and contaminants, making it suitable for critical electronics cleaning, laboratory use, and applications where residue or contamination cannot be tolerated.
Can 824-1L be used to remove flux residue after soldering?
Yes — IPA is one of the most widely used solvents for flux residue removal after hand soldering and SMT assembly. It effectively dissolves rosin and water-soluble flux residues and evaporates without leaving contaminating residue.
Is 824-1L safe on plastics?
Yes — 824-1L is safe on most painted surfaces, plastics, and elastomers. As with any solvent, testing on a small inconspicuous area is recommended before full application on sensitive or unfamiliar materials.
What is the difference between 824-1L and other MG Chemicals IPA sizes?
824-1L is the 1 liter (32 oz.) bottle format, sold in cases of 12. MG Chemicals also offers 824 IPA in 500mL trigger pump bottles, 4L jugs, and larger drum formats. All contain the same 99.9% ACS reagent grade IPA formula.
