Isopropanol is a flammable substance, but not an explosive.

Isopropanol is a colorless, transparent liquid with a strong alcohol odor. It is commonly used as a solvent and antifreeze agent. Its flash point is low, about 40°C, which means that it is easily flammable.

 

Explosive refers to a material that can cause a violent chemical reaction when a certain amount of energy is applied, usually refers to high-energy explosives such as gunpowder and TNT.

 

Isopropanol itself has no explosion risk. However, in a closed environment, high concentrations of isopropanol may be flammable due to the presence of oxygen and heat sources. In addition, if the isopropanol is mixed with other flammable substances, it may also cause explosions.

 

Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of using isopropanol, we should strictly control the concentration and temperature of the operation process, and use appropriate fire-fighting equipment and facilities to prevent fire accidents.
