Product Overview

 

 

Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) 99.9% Anhydrous is a high-purity, clear, colorless organic solvent formulated for applications requiring strict control over moisture and trace impurities. Produced via direct hydration of propylene utilizing high-efficiency catalytic distillation, this grade contains >= 99.9% C3H8O by weight with a maximum water content of 0.05%. It functions primarily as an extraction medium, reaction solvent, and cleaning agent in regulated manufacturing environments. Each production batch undergoes automated gas chromatography (GC) testing prior to release to verify adherence to strict industrial specifications.

Applications

API Crystallization & Purification:

Utilized as a recrystallization solvent for active pharmaceutical ingredients due to its favorable partition coefficients and low boiling point, facilitating rapid solvent stripping.

Cleanroom & Equipment Sanitization:

Deployed for surface wipe-downs and equipment flushing in ISO Class 5-8 cleanrooms; evaporates completely without leaving surfactant residues.

Chromatography & Analytical Testing:

Serves as an organic modifier and mobile phase component in High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) assays.

Electronics Surface Preparation:

Applied in defluxing and cleaning semiconductor sub-assemblies where trace metallic contaminants must remain below 0.1 ppm.

 

Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Relevance

 
 
01
 

ICH Q3C (R8) Compliance:

Residual solvent profiles align strictly with Class 3 guidelines, permitting controlled usage limits in drug product formulations without toxicological safety justification concerns.

 
02
 

GMP Alignment:

Synthesized, handled, and packaged in facilities operating under current Good Manufacturing Practice principles, ensuring full batch segregation and traceability.

 
03
 

Low Bioburden Profile:

Produced via high-temperature distillation loops that eliminate microbial contaminants prior to sub-micron membrane filtration (0.2 um) at the filling stage.

Grade & Quality Requirements
 

USP / EP Monograph Alignment:

Meets or exceeds current United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and European Pharmacopoeia (EP) specifications for Isopropyl Alcohol.

Heavy Metal Thresholds:

Total heavy metals (as Lead) maintained at < 1 ppm, verified via Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS).

Non-Volatile Residue Control:

Monitored continuously to prevent silicone or plasticizer leaching from transfer lines into the final packaged solvent.

Quality Control

In-Process Monitoring: Inline refractometers and automated densitometers monitor purity parameters during fractional distillation.
Pre-Shipment Retention: Retained samples from every production lot are archived in climate-controlled lockers for 24 months to support post-market traceability audits.
Third-Party Verification: Random lots are independently analyzed by ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratories to validate internal gas chromatography calibration curves.

FAQ

 

 

Q:How is atmospheric moisture prevented from contaminating the product during drum decanting?

A: Drums are sealed with dual-bung closures featuring EPDM gaskets. For moisture-sensitive processes, use a desiccant air drier vent attached to the drum bung during withdrawal.

Q: Are analytical methods listed on the COA traceable to national standards?

A: Yes. All test methods reference ASTM or pharmacopeial standards calibrated using NIST-traceable reference materials.

Q: What is the procedure if a delivered lot deviates from the agreed specification?

A: Quarantine the affected lot, notify our QA department within 7 business days with the corresponding COA and retained sample test results, and a technical investigation report will be issued within 48 hours pursuant to our RMA policy.
