Isopropanolhe wai waihoʻoluʻu a ʻaʻole hoʻi me ka ʻala hoʻonāukiuki ikaika. He wai hikiwawe a hoʻoheheʻe ʻia i ka lumi wela. Hoʻohana nui ʻia ia i ka hana ʻana i nā mea ʻala, nā mea hoʻoheheʻe, nā antifreezes, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe.

ʻO kekahi o ka hoʻohana nui ʻana o ka isopropanol ma ke ʻano he solvent. Hiki iā ia ke hoʻoheheʻe i nā mea he nui, e like me ka resins, cellulose acetate, polyvinyl chloride, a me nā mea'ē aʻe, no laila ua hoʻohana nuiʻia i ka hanaʻana i nā mea hoʻopili, ka'īnika paʻi, ka pena a me nāʻoihana'ē aʻe. Eia kekahi, hoʻohana ʻia ka isopropanol i ka hana ʻana o ka antifreeze. ʻOi aku ka haʻahaʻa o ka isopropanol ma mua o ka wai, no laila hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia e like me ka antifreeze haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa i ke kaʻina hana o kekahi mau ʻoihana kemika. Eia kekahi, hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ka isopropanol no ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe. Loaʻa iā ia ka hopena hoʻomaʻemaʻe maikaʻi i nā mīkini a me nā mea hana like ʻole.

Ma waho aʻe o ka hoʻohana ʻana i luna, hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ka isopropanol ma ke ʻano he kumu waiwai no ka synthesis o nā kemika ʻē aʻe. No ka laʻana, hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia e synthesize i ka acetone, ʻo ia kahi mea kumu kumu nui i ka ʻoihana kemika. Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ʻo Isopropanol e synthesize i nā mea ʻē aʻe he nui, e like me ka butanol, octanol, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe, he mau hoʻohana like ʻole i nā ʻoihana like ʻole.

Ma keʻano laulā, he nui ka hoʻohana ʻana o ka isopropanol i ka ʻoihana kemika a me nā ʻoihana ʻē aʻe e pili ana. Ma waho aʻe o nā noi i luna, hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia i ka hana ʻana o nā polymers a me nā uhi. I ka pōkole, he kuleana ko ka isopropanol i kā mākou hana a me ke ola.
