Title: What damage would 70% Isopropyl do to cotton/polyester if some spilled on it?
Post by: kevinmac on April 07, 2020, 10:29:16 PM

I am conducting an experiment where I need to know the effects of 70% Isopropyl Alcohol accidentally spilling on clothing. What should someone do? Would 70% IPA be enough to corrode the fibers?

Just pour it on strips of fabric and see what it does.
