Every model maker, hobbyist, and miniaturist needs a bottle of high-purity Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) on their workbench. Because this is 99.9% pure technical grade, it contains virtually no water. It evaporates rapidly and leaves absolutely zero residue behind, making it safe for delicate plastics, resin, and precision tools.
Common Uses on the Workbench
-
Airbrush Cleaning: Flushes out stubborn acrylic paints, primers, and liquid putties. Ideal for deep-cleaning needles and nozzles between colour changes.
-
Paint Stripping: Safely lifts acrylic and enamel paints from plastic, resin, and metal miniatures without melting or warping the plastic underneath.
-
3D Print Washing: The standard choice for rinsing away uncured resin from SLA/DLP 3D prints, ensuring crisp details before you cure them under UV light.
-
Surface Prep: Removes finger oils, mold release agents from resin kits, and sanding dust so your primer coat adheres perfectly.
-
Weathering & Effects: Excellent for blending pigment powders or diluting specific washes and alcohol-based inks.
Why 99.9% Purity Matters
Standard rubbing alcohol from the chemist often contains up to 30% water and added oils. That extra water slows down drying times and can cause rust on your precision airbrushes or leave water spots on your models. Our 99.9% grade ensures maximum strength and fast, clean evaporation.
Important Handling Info
Please use IPA in a well-ventilated space, wear gloves to prevent your skin from drying out, and keep it away from open flames or heat sources.
