Isopropyl Acetate (iPrOAc)
CH₃COOCH(CH₃)₂ · CAS 108-21-4
Isopropyl Acetate (iPrOAc) is often shortlisted for euv underlayer spin-on hard mask (soh) solvent. In coating and lithography work, purity is only part of the decision: evaporation behaviour, water, acidity, residue and compatibility with the resist system should be reviewed together.

Product overview
A product route built around the application
Isopropyl Acetate is considered for processes that need a consistent material, controlled critical impurities and a supply format that can move from qualification to routine use. The grade should be selected against the actual process—not a generic purity claim.
Controlled attributes
Focus testing on the impurities and performance risks that matter.
Supply planning
Align sample, production pack, forecast and document route early.
Before you specify
A better enquiry starts with four answers
A higher grade is not automatically the better choice. The useful option fits the process, analytical method, packaging route and qualification plan without adding controls the application does not need.
01
Which resist, polymer or coating formulation is in use?
02
What evaporation, film-uniformity or edge-bead behaviour needs to be preserved?
03
Which water, acidity, peroxide and residue limits are already qualified?
04
What container, filtration and point-of-use connection are required?
Specification data
Compare the listed grade columns
This table is an indicative product overview for initial screening. Confirm the current controlled specification, test methods, reporting limits and available lot documentation before qualification or purchase.
| Parameter | Test method | Unit | G4 | AR |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Assay (GC) | GC-FID | % | ≥99.99 | ≥99.5 |
| Water (KF) | Karl Fischer | ppm | ≤30 | ≤500 |
| Residue on Evap. | Gravimetric | ppm | ≤2 | ≤5 |
Website values do not replace a signed sales specification. The agreed specification and lot-specific Certificate of Analysis govern supplied material.
Electronic grade context
Use the grade scale as a first comparison
SEMI C1 describes liquid-chemical grades and analytical procedures. A grade name helps organise a discussion; your process specification still decides which limits and methods are acceptable.

Representative application cases
A practical evidence route for Isopropyl Acetate
These are illustrative composite qualification scenarios, not named customer claims. Exact methods, limits and acceptance decisions belong to the customer’s controlled process.
European process qualification
A contamination-sensitive production team compares Isopropyl Acetate (iPrOAc) with its incumbent material using the agreed water, metals, organic-impurity, residue and particle controls.
Evidence route
Supplier CoA and specification data are evaluated alongside a representative process trial and incoming-control plan.
North American second-source review
A site qualifies Isopropyl Acetate (iPrOAc) for supply resilience without changing its approved process or dispensing route.
Evidence route
The review connects sample identity, production-pack compatibility, analytical comparison and documented change communication.
Manufacturing advantage
A controlled route from purification to final filling
The supply route for Isopropyl Acetate connects incoming-material review, product-specific treatment, controlled transfer, testing, filling and lot documentation. Exact equipment and controls depend on the qualified product and grade.
Purification
Product-specific separation or treatment route.
Filtration
Compatible filtration and controlled transfer.
Testing
Release against the agreed specification.
Clean filling
Pack, closure and lot identification review.
