Isopropanol ni ubwoko bwa alcool, izwi kandi nka alcool ya isopropyl, hamwe na molekile ya C3H8O. Ni ibara ritagira ibara rifite ibara, rifite uburemere bwa 60.09, n'ubucucike bwa 0,789. Isopropanol irashonga mumazi kandi ntishobora gukoreshwa na ether, acetone na chloroform.

Nubwoko bwa alcool, isopropanol ifite polarite runaka. Ubuharike bwabwo buruta ubwa Ethanol ariko burenze ubwa butanol. Isopropanol ifite ubushyuhe buringaniye hamwe nigipimo gito cyo guhumeka. Biroroshye kubira ifuro kandi byoroshye kubeshya n'amazi. Isopropanol ifite impumuro nziza nuburyohe, byoroshye gutera uburakari mumaso hamwe nubuhumekero.

Isopropanol ni amazi yaka kandi afite ubushyuhe buke. Irashobora gukoreshwa nkigishishwa cyibintu bitandukanye kama, nkibinure bisanzwe namavuta asanzwe. Isopropanol ikoreshwa cyane mugukora parufe, cosmetike, imiti nizindi nganda. Mubyongeyeho, isopropanol nayo ikoreshwa nkibikoresho byogusukura, antifreezing agent, nibindi.

Isopropanol ifite uburozi nuburakari. Kumara igihe kirekire hamwe na isopropanol birashobora gutera uburakari kuruhu hamwe nuduce twinshi two mu myanya y'ubuhumekero. Isopropanol irashya kandi irashobora gutera umuriro cyangwa guturika mugihe cyo gutwara cyangwa gukoresha. Kubwibyo, mugihe ukoresheje isopropanol, hagomba gufatwa ingamba zumutekano kugirango wirinde guhura nuruhu cyangwa amaso, kandi wirinde inkomoko yumuriro.

Byongeye kandi, isopropanol ifite umwanda w’ibidukikije. Irashobora kwangirika kubidukikije, ariko irashobora kandi kwinjira mumazi nubutaka binyuze mumazi cyangwa kumeneka, bizagira ingaruka runaka kubidukikije. Kubwibyo, mugikorwa cyo gukoresha isopropanol, hakwiye kwitabwaho kurengera ibidukikije kugirango turinde ibidukikije niterambere rirambye ryisi.
