HOUSTON (ICIS)–The US isopropanol (IPA) market faces upward pressure as strong demand for hand sanitizer and other cleaning products continues during the coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak.

Isopropyl alcohol is used in many hand sanitizers, which are in high demand among consumers because of their ability to kill germs.

Hand sanitizers were among the first products to sell out at grocery stores and pharmacies, but demand has increased since then, especially in hospitals.

Secondary markets continue to be unpredictable and changing rapidly.
