To prevent the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19), the Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) advised that it is imperative to sanitize surfaces that people routinely touch, with the use of alcohol.
In practice, Industrial grade isopropyl alcohol is used for a wide range of non-medical applications. This includes general purpose cleaning for printed circuit boards, inks, paint thinners, surface coatings, and as raw material for several household cleaners.
