Thanks, contacted the guy (believe is him). Meeting him soon.
Regarding the meaning of the %, just did some search and it should means purity, which means alcohol by volume. In the case of drinking beverage, it means number of millilitres of pure ethanol present in 100 millilitres of solution at 20 °C. Guess we can simply replace the ethanol in this definition to propanol.

hmmm... % can means both purity or concentration (v/v). Most of the time purity is used for the stock solution whereas concentration is used when we dilute the stock solution.
So if you were to buy a new chemical such as isopropanol from manufacturer/distributor, mostly it means purity.
There are many grades of chemicals. Commonly, industrial grade not so pure, might have some impurities such as trace metal elements in it. Whereas analytical grade will be better as the spec of the metal impurities is much more tighter than industrial grade.

Industrial grade IPA mostly used for cleaning purpose, but for some industrial cleaning, they even use electronic grade IPA.
99% IPA (industrial grade) is good enough for average cleaning.
Correct me if I were wrong.

The higher the % purity of the IPA, the lesser 'foreign content' in it and would leave lesser stuffs behind when it evaporate. Which one to get would depend on how anal and what you're trying to achieve. Unless you're cleaning *very* sensitive electronics, in general, anything above 75% purity is more than good enough already.

Well in lyn we can get around 99% pure ipa for a farely cheap price. That's the reason I mentioned the %purity here. no need to be too concern about the industrial grade ipa unless it is recycled ipa.
