Isopropanol FCC

Isopropanol FCC (isopropyl alcohol) is a high-purity, food-grade solvent and antimicrobial agent widely used in pharmaceutical, food processing, cosmetic, and industrial applications. Known for its excellent solvency, rapid evaporation, and broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, Isopropanol FCC is a versatile functional ingredient in regulated formulations requiring FCC compliance.

• Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) compliant isopropyl alcohol (≥99%)
• Used as a solvent, processing aid, disinfectant, and preservative
• Suitable for food contact surfaces, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and flavor extraction
• Evaporates quickly with minimal residue and low odor
• Is manufactured under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) conditions
• Supplied with complete regulatory documentation including Certificate of Analysis (CoA), FCC compliance, and supporting technical data

Chemically known as 2-propanol, Isopropanol FCC is a clear, colorless liquid with a sharp, characteristic odor. It is miscible with water and many organic solvents, making it ideal for both aqueous and non-aqueous formulations. Its rapid drying and sanitizing properties also make it essential in cleanroom and aseptic processing environments.

In food and pharmaceutical applications, Isopropanol FCC is used in:

• Solvent systems for botanical extraction, flavor preparation, and concentrate blending
• Sanitizers and disinfectants for food contact surfaces and equipment
• Pharmaceutical processing including tablet film-coating, granulation, and intermediate cleaning
• Topical antiseptics and hand sanitizers, when formulated within allowable concentrations
• Recrystallization and purification of actives in API manufacturing

Because it evaporates quickly and leaves little residue, Isopropanol is a preferred solvent in high-purity production environments where contamination control is critical.

CarboMer supplies Isopropanol FCC with tight control over purity, water content, residual solvents, and non-volatile residue. Each batch conforms to FCC specifications for use in food-grade and pharmaceutical contexts, and is manufactured under GMP-compliant conditions.

The material is packaged in sealed, tamper-evident, UN-approved containers for safe handling and transport. Available in lab, pilot, and commercial-scale volumes. Minimum order quantities (MOQ), lead times, and full regulatory documentation—including CoA and SDS—are provided upon request.

Each batch is tested for identity (GC), assay (isopropyl alcohol content), specific gravity, non-volatile residue, and water content (Karl Fischer). Certificates of Analysis (CoA), Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and full traceability documentation accompany every shipment.

As with all CarboMer solvents and functional processing agents, Isopropanol FCC is supported by regulatory expertise, safe handling guidelines, and dependable sourcing to help ensure purity and compliance in your pharmaceutical or food production operations.
