Crown Isopropyl Alcohol 99%

Crown Isopropyl Alcohol 99% in a 1 gallon container is a cleaning solvent with a low water content, which is what the 99% grade buys you. It flashes off cleanly and leaves very little behind, so it is the wipe you use when a surface has to be free of residue before something bonds to it.

On coating work that is its role. It cleans light dust, handling oils and film off surfaces and tools, cleans up small resin drips and equipment before they set, and works as a general shop cleaner where a manufacturer's instructions call for an alcohol wipe. Because it carries so little water, it is also preferred over lower grades anywhere trapped water would cause a problem.

It is a cleaner, and only a cleaner. Isopropyl alcohol is not an etchant and it creates no mechanical profile, so it does nothing toward preparing a slab for coating. That job belongs to diamond grinding. It is not a degreaser for an oil-saturated floor either, and wiping a contaminated slab with it will mostly redistribute the contamination. And it is not a thinner. Do not add it to a resin system unless that specific coating's technical data sheet names it.

For stubborn cured resin or heavier cleanup, acetone is more aggressive and flashes faster. Isopropyl alcohol is the gentler and cleaner-leaving option, which is why crews keep both on the truck.

It is flammable. Use it with ventilation, keep it away from ignition sources, wear gloves and eye protection, and keep the container closed between pours. Solvents are regulated for shipment, so ground shipping rules apply to this item. Call 817-676-6793 for bulk quantities or freight orders.
