Agar Isopropyl Alcohol 5L Fast Evaporating Solvent Cleaner for Hard Surfaces

Why Agar Isopropyl Alcohol Is Used for Residue Removal and Surface Cleaning

Agar Isopropyl Alcohol is a high purity solvent designed for fast, effective cleaning of smooth hard surfaces. It is commonly used to remove oily films, adhesive residue, ink, cosmetics, and surface marks where water based cleaners are not effective. The fast evaporating formula dries quickly without streaking, making it suitable for professional environments that require clean, residue free finishes.

How Agar Isopropyl Alcohol Cleans and Sanitises Surfaces

The solvent action dissolves oils, greases, and adhesives so they can be easily wiped away. Once applied, the alcohol evaporates rapidly, leaving no residue behind. When diluted correctly, it can also be used as a surface sanitiser for high contact areas, supporting hygiene practices without prolonged drying time.

• Removes adhesive residue, smudges, ink, and cosmetic marks.

Dissolves Residues:
- Effectively removes adhesive tape residues, cosmetic stains, fingerprints, smears, and certain types of ink from hard surfaces.
- Glass and Stainless Steel Cleaning:
- Ideal for cleaning glass windows and mirrors, providing a sparkling, streak-free finish.

Sanitising:
- When diluted to about 65% with water, it kills bacteria, fungi, and many viruses by denaturing their proteins and dissolving their lipids (fatty materials). However, it is not effective against bacterial spores.
- Excellent for sanitising toilet seats, door handles, taps, and other human contact surfaces.

How to Use Agar Isopropyl Alcohol:

Apply neat with a cloth for direct cleaning of residue and adhesive
Dilute 1 part alcohol with 5 parts water for cleaning glass
To create a 65 percent sanitising solution add 55ml water to 100ml isopropyl alcohol
Wipe the surface and allow to air dry
Always test on a small hidden area before full use
