I-Isopropanol luhlobo lotywala, olukwabizwa ngokuba yi-isopropyl alcohol, kunye ne-molecular formula C3H8O.Lulwelo olungenambala olucacileyo, olunobunzima bemolekyuli ye-60.09, kunye nobuninzi be-0.789.I-Isopropanol iyanyibilika emanzini kwaye ixutywe ne-ether, i-acetone kunye ne-chloroform.

Njengohlobo lotywala, i-isopropanol ine-polarity ethile.I-polarity yayo inkulu kune-ethanol kodwa ingaphantsi kwe-butanol.I-Isopropanol inoxinzelelo oluphezulu lomphezulu kunye nesantya esisezantsi sokunyuka komphunga.Kulula ukwenza ugwebu kwaye kulula ukuxutywa namanzi.I-Isopropanol inevumba elibi elicaphukisayo kunye nencasa, ekulula ukubangela ukucaphuka kwamehlo kunye nomgudu wokuphefumula.

I-Isopropanol ilulwelo olunokutsha kwaye inobushushu obuphantsi bokutshisa.Ingasetyenziselwa njenge-solvent kwiintlobo ezahlukeneyo zezinto eziphilayo, ezifana namafutha endalo kunye neoli esisigxina.I-Isopropanol isetyenziswa ngokubanzi kwimveliso yeziqholo, izimonyo, amayeza kunye namanye amashishini.Ukongezelela, i-isopropanol iphinda isetyenziswe njenge-agent yokucoca, i-antifreezing agent, njl.

I-Isopropanol inetyhefu ethile kunye nokucaphuka.Ukudibana kwexesha elide kunye ne-isopropanol kunokubangela ukucaphuka kwesikhumba kunye ne-mucous membranes yendlela yokuphefumula.I-Isopropanol inokutsha kwaye inokubangela umlilo okanye ugqabhuko-dubulo ngexesha lokuthuthwa okanye ukusetyenziswa.Ngoko ke, xa usebenzisa i-isopropanol, amanyathelo okhuseleko kufuneka athathwe ukuze ugweme ukudibanisa nesikhumba okanye amehlo, kwaye ugcine kude nemithombo yomlilo.

Ukongeza, isopropanol inongcoliseko oluthile lokusingqongileyo.Inokonakaliswa kwindalo esingqongileyo, kodwa isenokungena emanzini nasemhlabeni ngokukhupha amanzi okanye ngokuvuza, okuya kuba nempembelelo ethile kokusingqongileyo.Ngoko ke, kwinkqubo yokusebenzisa isopropanol, ingqalelo kufuneka ihlawulwe ekukhuselweni kwendalo ukukhusela indawo yethu kunye nophuhliso oluzinzileyo lomhlaba.
