If you are studying abroad for your post-16 education you will require a general student visa. 1  In the UK this is called a Tier 4 (General Student) visa. 2  In the US this is called a F-1 visa. 3  In Australia your visa type will depend on your country of citizenship and your chosen subject.
Isopropyl alcohol dissolves a wide range of non-polar compounds. It also evaporates quickly, leaves nearly zero oil traces, compared to ethanol, and is relatively non-toxic, compared to alternative solvents. Thus, it is used widely as a solvent and as a cleaning fluid, especially for dissolving oils.
It will dissolve ethyl cellulose, polyvinyl butyral, many oils, alkaloids, gums and natural resins. Unlike ethanol or methanol, isopropyl alcohol is not miscible with salt solutions and can be separated from aqueous solutions by adding a salt such as sodium chloride.
