Thanks Bob Topic should read track cleaning IPA is a type of Alcohol and normally should not contain anything else It can be just IPA or Isopropyl Alcohol or Isopropanol or even Dimethyl Carbonol. They are all the same thing. BTW if you want to change the spelling (or anything else in a topic you have started) go back to your first post select "edit" and then "use full editor" . You will the see the topic title appear again at the top of your post so that you can change it if you wish. Cheers Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Moss Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Good the general degreasing too. Luckily using it at work = free supply. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-UnitMad Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 "99% Isopropyl" is pretty strong stuff, as well..!!! It's alcohol for sure - just don't drink it... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB-AU Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Don't drink isopropyl alcohol regardless of purity. It's toxic. Not quite as toxic as methanol or ethylene glycol but still dangerous. Treat all chemicals with respect and take appropriate safety precautions. The more pure it is the better for cleaning. Avoid products like Haz and Isocol which are only about 70% IPA and will leave a residue on metal. Cheers David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
