MG Chemicals 824-450G - Isopropyl Alcohol Aerosol Spray

The 824 Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) is a high purity cleaner and solvent. The purity level meets Grade A standard for MIL Spec TT-I-735A and ASTM D770, ensuring that no contamination occurs from its use. As a cleaner, it is fully miscible in water and most organic fluids, making it good at dissolving dirt, light organic contaminants, and ionic flux residues. Since the 824 is highly anhydrous (without water) and hygroscopic (absorbs humidity), it readily scavenges water off surfaces, trapping the water in the IPA solution as an azeotropic mixture. This helps to dehumidify surfaces. As a solvent, it acts as a moderate evaporation, ‘plastic safe’ diluent (see compatibility chart on page 3) and is used to improve the properties of paint resins and other heterogeneous solid mixtures. Therefore, it serves as a useful carrier solvent to adjust the rheological properties and compatibilities of complex mixtures. Due to IPA’s volatility, it resists entrapment in the coating. As it dries, it gives off a very light odor, which is not bothersome but serves as a cue to limit over-exposure due to poor ventilation.

Application Instructions

Follow the procedure below for best results.

To clean residues

  • Spray rinse area directly or use with a hog hair cleaning brush to loosen and remove contamination.
    • Ensure that wash runs off the circuit board along the shortest unencumbered path to prevent redeposit of solvated residues.

Technical Details & Test Data

Compatibility

It is compatible with many plastics, seals, PCB components, paints, rubbers, and plant fibers.
Substrate Compatibility: Consult the 824 compatibility chart for a tentative compatibility list. These compatibility ratings should be considered as tentative due to variations in plastic manufacturers’ formulations and additives, as well as the processing conditions during cleaning.

Attention !

Always perform a compatibility test on a non-critical area or a representative test substrate prior to use. Test even if the compatibility chart predicts a high compatibility: modern parts may incorporate undeclared sensitive materials (such as custom plastic blends, custom additives, protective coatings, or decorative coatings).

Note : Rating is given for room temperature only. Heating the solution generally decreases the chemical resistance.

LEGEND

  • Excellent = Negligible chemical attack over long exposures
  • Good = Slight attack with minor absorption over long exposures
  • Fair = Moderate attack with swelling, softening, loss of strength (may tolerate short term exposures)
  • Poor = Not recommended due to possible crazing, cracking, discoloration, or loss of strength
  • Severe Effect = Decomposition or dissolution after short exposures
