Isopropanoliyikhemikhali evamile yezimboni enezinhlobonhlobo zezicelo. Nokho, njenganoma yiliphi ikhemikhali, linezingozi ezingaba khona. Kulesi sihloko, sizohlola umbuzo wokuthi i-isopropanol iyinto eyingozi yini ngokuhlola izakhiwo zayo ezingokwenyama namakhemikhali, imiphumela yezempilo, kanye nomthelela wemvelo.

I-Isopropanol iwuketshezi oluvuthayo olunephuzu elibilayo elingu-82.5°C kanye nephoyinti elikhanyayo elingu-22°C. Ine-viscosity ephansi kanye nokuguquguquka okuphezulu, okungaholela ekuhwamukeni okusheshayo kanye nokusakazwa kwentuthu yayo. Lezi zakhiwo ziyenza ikwazi ukuqhuma uma ixubene nomoya ekugxilweni okungaphezu kuka-3.2% ngevolumu. Ukwengeza, ukuguquguquka okuphezulu kwe-isopropanol nokuncibilika emanzini kuwenza abe usongo olungaba khona emanzini angaphansi komhlaba nangaphezulu.

Umphumela wezempilo oyinhloko we-isopropanol uwukuhogela noma ukumunca. Ukuhogela intuthu yayo kungabangela ukucasuka emehlweni, ikhala, nomphimbo, kanye nekhanda elibuhlungu, isicanucanu, nesiyezi. Ukungena kwe-isopropanol kungaholela emiphumeleni enzima kakhulu yezempilo, kuhlanganise nobuhlungu besisu, ukuhlanza, isifo sohudo, nokudlikizela. Izimo ezimbi kakhulu zingase zibangele ukwehluleka kwesibindi noma ukufa. I-Isopropanol nayo ibhekwa njenge-toxin yokuthuthukiswa, okusho ukuthi ingabangela ukukhubazeka kokuzalwa uma ukuvezwa kwenzeka ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa.

Umthelela wemvelo we-isopropanol ikakhulukazi ngokulahlwa kwayo noma ukukhululwa ngengozi. Njengoba kushiwo ngaphambili, ukuncibilika kwawo okuphezulu emanzini kungaholela ekungcoleni kwamanzi angaphansi komhlaba nangaphezulu uma kulahlwa ngokungafanele. Ukwengeza, ukukhiqizwa kwe-isopropanol kukhiqiza ukukhishwa kwegesi ebamba ukushisa, okunomthelela ekushintsheni kwesimo sezulu.

Sengiphetha, i-isopropanol inezinto eziyingozi ezidinga ukulawulwa kahle ukuze kuncishiswe ukulimala okungaba khona empilweni yomuntu kanye nemvelo. Ukuvutha kwayo, ukuntengantenga, nobuthi konke kunomthelela ekuqanjweni kwayo njengento eyingozi. Nokho, kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi lezi zingozi ziyalawuleka ngokuphathwa ngendlela efanele kanye nezinqubo zokuzigcina.
