I-Iyopropanol luhlobo lotywala, okwabizwa ngokuba yiSopropyl Utywala, ngemolekyuli c3h8o. Lulwelo olubonakalayo olungenamibala, ubunzima obungama-60.09, kunye nobuninzi be-0.789. I-Iyopropanol inyibilikisa emanzini kwaye ichanekile ne-ether, i-acetone kunye ne-chloroform.

Njengohlobo lotywala, i-Iyopropanol ine-polay ethile. I-polaty yayo inkulu kune-ethanol kodwa ingaphantsi kwebhanyabhanya. I-Iyopropanol inomphezulu ophezulu kunye nenqanaba lokuphumeza eliphantsi. Kulula ukugwetywa kwaye kulula ukungabonakali ngamanzi. I-Iyopropanol inevumba eliqaqambileyo elicaphukisayo kwaye incasa, ekulula ukubangela ukucaphukisa amehlo kunye nephecana lokuphefumla.

I-Iyopropanol yi-alled enokutsha kwaye inobushushu obuphantsi. Ingasetyenziselwa njengesinyibilikiswa kwiingcongconi ezahlukeneyo zezinto eziphilayo, ezinjengeefutha zendalo kunye neoyile eqingqiweyo. I-Iyopropanol isetyenziswa ngokubanzi kwimveliso yeziqholo, i-cosmetics, amayeza kunye namanye amashishini. Ukongeza, i-Iyopropanol ikwasetyenziswa njengearhente yokucoca, iarhente yokuthintela, njl.

I-Iyopropanol inetyhefu ethile kunye nokungahambi kakuhle. Ukudibana kwexesha elide nge-isopropanol kunokubangela ukucaphukisa ulusu kunye ne-mucous membrane yephecana lokuphefumla. I-Iyopropanol iyafakelwa kwaye inokubangela umlilo okanye ukuqhushumba ngexesha lokuhamba okanye ukusetyenziswa. Ke ngoko, xa usebenzisa i-Iyopropanol, amanyathelo okhuseleko kufuneka athathwe ukunqanda ukunxibelelana nolusu okanye amehlo, kwaye ahlukane nemithombo yomlilo.

Ukongeza, i-Iyopropanol inengcoliseko ethile yokusingqongileyo. Ingayibhalwa kwindalo esingqongileyo, kodwa inokungena emanzini nomhlaba ngokusebenzisa amanzi okanye ukuvuza, kuya kuba nefuthe elithile kwindalo esingqongileyo. Ke ngoko, kwinkqubo yokusebenzisa i-Iyopropanol, ingqalelo kufuneka ihlawulwe kukuzikhusela kwindalo ukukhusela indalo yethu kunye nophuhliso oluzinzileyo lomhlaba.
