Product Overview

Shell IPA Overview

Isopropyl alcohol — also written isopropanol, 2-propanol or IPA — is a clear, low-viscosity secondary alcohol valued for its solvency, evaporation rate and complete miscibility with water.

Shell Isopropanol is supplied as a process solvent and formulation ingredient. With the molecular formula C3H8O and CAS Registry Number 67-63-0, it dissolves many polar and non-polar substances and evaporates cleanly, which is why it appears across coating, cleaning, pharmaceutical and personal-care production.

  • Medium evaporating solvent, fully miscible with water and most common organic solvents
  • Effective with epoxy and acrylic resins, ethyl cellulose, gums and natural resins
  • Water-white liquid with a mild odour and very low impurity levels

Supply Range

Grades & Supply Forms

Buyers refer to this product by several names. Supply is organised around each of them, with the same underlying isopropyl alcohol chemistry and the same published data.

01

Shell Isopropanol Grade

General-purpose IPA for cleaning, dilution and process use, specified where a consistent, water-miscible alcohol is required.

02

Shell Isopropanol Solvent Grade

Solvent-focused supply for coating, ink and resin systems, where evaporation behaviour and low water content drive the selection.

03

Shell Isopropyl Alcohol

The same propan-2-ol chemistry under the name commonly used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic and disinfectant documentation.

Applications

Where IPA Is Used

Isopropanol works as a solvent, a diluent and a cleaning agent. Its balance of solvency and fast, residue-free evaporation makes it a standard input across these areas.

  • Coatings, lacquers and printing inks
  • Pharmaceutical processing
  • Cosmetics and personal care
  • Disinfectants and sanitisers
  • Electronics and precision cleaning
  • Adhesives and resin systems

Ascent Group Co., Ltd

About the Company

Ascent Group Co., Ltd supplies Shell Isopropanol to formulators, converters and industrial buyers. Work is centred on a single product family, so specification control, lot traceability and dispatch planning stay consistent from enquiry to delivery.

Quality control is built around the published data for isopropyl alcohol, CAS 67-63-0. A minimum purity of 99.8 % m/m, water at 0.03 % m/m and a density of 0.785 kg/l at 20 °C are the reference points used when material is checked before release.

Because IPA has a flash point of 12 °C, storage and handling guidance accompanies each shipment, and packing is selected to keep the product stable in transit. With proper storage, Shell Chemicals notes isopropyl alcohol is expected to remain technically stable for at least 12 months.

Enquiries are handled by one named contact, Yana Fan, who works from the published technical data and the packing options available for your destination. This keeps grade selection and order details in one place.
