100% Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA)

Technical-Grade IPA for Art and Surface Preparation

Global Colours Isopropyl Alcohol offers a high-purity solvent for artistic, workshop and cleaning applications. It evaporates quickly and leaves minimal residue on suitable surfaces. Artists can use IPA with alcohol inks and selected acrylic techniques. It also helps clean compatible tools, remove sticky residue and prepare suitable surfaces before painting or varnishing. Always test a small area first. Some paints, plastics, finishes and coated surfaces may react to strong solvents.

Choose a Spray, Dropper or Refill Bottle

The range includes three dispenser formats for different tasks. Choose the 50ml dropper when you need controlled amounts for detailed creative work, palette mixing or activating suitable products. Choose a 60ml or 250ml spray for broader, even application across compatible tools and surfaces. Choose a 250ml or 1-litre refill bottle for regular studio use, larger projects and refilling suitable dispensers. Check the product page before ordering, as the available sizes vary by dispenser type.

Use Isopropyl Alcohol in Creative Work

IPA supports several artistic and workshop applications. Use it to:

• create effects with alcohol inks;
• experiment with compatible acrylic techniques;
• activate suitable alcohol-based Special FX colours;
• clean brushes and tools that can tolerate strong solvents;
• prepare compatible surfaces before painting;
• remove selected adhesive and ink residue;
• clean suitable 3D-printer surfaces.

Follow the instructions for the paint, ink, palette or tool that you plan to use. Do not assume every art material can tolerate undiluted alcohol.

Clean Tools and Remove Residue

The fast evaporation rate makes IPA useful for removing grease, grime and sticky residue from compatible surfaces. Apply a small amount to a clean cloth or suitable applicator. Work in a well-ventilated area and avoid saturating the surface. Test painted, polished, coated and plastic surfaces before wider use. Strong alcohol can soften, mark or remove some finishes. Allow cleaned tools and surfaces to dry fully before using them again.

Choose the Right Format and Size

Select the format according to the amount of control and coverage you need.

• Choose the 50ml dropper for small quantities and precise dispensing.
• Choose the 60ml spray for portable kits and occasional cleaning.
• Choose the 250ml spray for regular workshop or studio use.
• Choose the 250ml refill for moderate ongoing use.
• Choose the 1-litre refill for higher-volume requirements.

Store the container upright with its lid or dispenser securely closed.
