isopropyl
Disinfectant alcohol type
Isopropyl is a chemical group derived from propane, most familiar in isopropyl alcohol—the rubbing alcohol used as a disinfectant and solvent.
The term appears in chemistry and product labels: isopropyl acetate, isopropyl myristate.
In everyday speech, isopropyl almost always means the alcohol: Clean it with some isopropyl.
