CiDehol 8432 — 32 oz non-aerosol trigger spray (non-sterile), filtered 0.2 µm.
1) Practical solutions in a critical environment
In day-to-day cleanroom and controlled-environment work, the difference between “looks clean” and “process-clean” is often the handling method:
how the alcohol is applied, how the wipe is staged, and how consistently operators avoid re-depositing residues and particles.
CiDehol 8432 is designed for routine surface wipe-down workflows where a validated sterile alcohol is not required by your quality system, but
a repeatable, filtered 70/30 IPA blend helps keep cleaning steps consistent across shifts.
2) What this product is used for
- Routine wipe-down of benches, carts, stainless surfaces, and equipment exteriors (per site SOP).
- Spot cleaning of touch points and tools where fast evaporation helps reduce handling delays.
- Cleaning of hoods and work areas in microbiology and tissue culture settings (as allowed by facility procedures).
- Final wipe steps where a 70/30 IPA blend is part of a qualified cleaning sequence (process-dependent).
3) Why customers consider this product
- A ready-to-use 70% (v/v) isopropyl alcohol / 30% purified water blend that meets USP specifications for the components.
- Filtered to 0.2 µm to help support cleaner application in controlled environments.
- 32 oz trigger spray format supports point-of-use control without decanting steps (when refilling is not permitted).
- Shelf-life and storage guidance are clearly defined to support receiving and inventory discipline.
- Documentation support (Tech Sheet and SDS) helps streamline EHS review and internal qualification files.
4) Materials, composition, and build
CiDehol 8432 is a ready-to-use alcohol solution formulated as 70% (v/v) isopropyl alcohol (IPA), USP and 30% purified water, USP.
The solution is filtered to 0.2 microns. Packaging is a non-aerosol, 32 oz trigger-spray bottle intended for point-of-use cleaning steps.
For facilities that manage alcohol control tightly, trigger formats often reduce accidental over-pouring compared to open-mouth containers.

6) Performance and cleanliness considerations
-
The 70/30 IPA blend is commonly used as a routine cleaner for residue removal and day-to-day surface wipe-downs.
It is not positioned as a sporicide; pair with your validated disinfectant rotation when spore control is required.
-
0.2 µm filtration is intended to help reduce particulate contribution from the liquid itself; cleanliness outcomes still depend heavily on wiper choice,
wipe pattern, and change frequency.
-
Fast evaporation is operationally convenient, but can also “flash dry” and lock in streaking if the surface is not fully wetted or the wipe face is overloaded.
-
Validate compatibility with sensitive plastics, coatings, labels, and adhesives. IPA can stress certain materials and can mobilize residues depending on the process.
7) Packaging, sterility, traceability, and country of origin
- Format: 32 oz non-aerosol trigger spray bottle.
- Sterility: Non-sterile.
- Case configuration: Decon documentation lists 12 × 32 oz for Cat. No. 8432.
- Shelf life and labeling control: Decon documentation states 2-year shelf life and notes the expiration date is printed on the product.
- Traceability support: Decon provides Certificate of Analysis lookup functionality on its CiDehol 70 product page (use lot number and Decon number for retrieval when available).
- Shipping classification: The SDS identifies isopropanol under UN 1219, hazard class 3, packing group II. The SOSCleanroom listing also flags hazmat ground shipment and a commercial-address restriction.
- Country of origin: Not stated in the source basis.
8) Best-practice use
The Decon tech sheet guidance is simple: use in a well-ventilated area, spray or wipe until the surface is completely covered, then allow to air dry.
In controlled environments, the technique details below are where most teams see the biggest gains in repeatability.
- Control overspray: Aim the nozzle close to the surface (typically 6–8 inches per Decon guidance) and avoid atomizing into open product, parts bins, or sensitive assemblies.
- Wipe pattern discipline: For wipe-downs, apply enough solution to fully wet the target area, then wipe in straight lines with a low-linting cleanroom wiper. Use overlapping strokes and rotate to a clean face frequently.
- Prevent re-deposit: The most common operator error is “polishing” with a saturated, dirty wipe face. If streaking starts, stop and change wipes; do not chase streaks with the same face.
- Sequence matters: If your SOP includes detergent or disinfectant steps, keep IPA as the specified “residue removal” or “final wipe” step only when validated. Do not substitute concentrations or reorder steps without QA review.
- Safety fundamentals: IPA is flammable. Eliminate ignition sources and follow facility PPE and ventilation requirements referenced in your EHS program and the SDS.
9) Common failure modes
- Flash-dry streaking: Too little liquid coverage, high airflow, or wiping too large an area before rotating the wipe face.
- Residue re-deposit: Continuing to wipe with a visibly soiled or overloaded wipe face.
- Material incompatibility: Crazing or softening on certain plastics, labels, coatings, or adhesives when IPA contact is not qualified.
- Process drift: Operators altering technique (distance, spray volume, wipe pattern) without re-training, leading to inconsistent outcomes.
- Safety noncompliance: Use near ignition sources or without required ventilation/PPE controls for flammables.
10) Closest competitors
-
Ecolab Klercide 70|30 IPA (Blended with Purified Water), non-sterile: Similar 70/30 concept positioned for cleanroom environments; packaging and quality-system features vary by region and configuration.
-
STERIS Septihol sterile alcohol solutions: A step-up choice when sterility is required; sterile assurance and packaging controls differ from non-sterile offerings.
-
Lab-grade 70% IPA trigger sprays (general laboratory suppliers): May be suitable for non-critical lab cleaning, but typically lack controlled-environment positioning and documentation depth expected in regulated cleanroom programs.
11) Critical environment fit for this product
CiDehol 8432 is best suited for controlled environments and laboratories where non-sterile, filtered 70/30 IPA is permitted by procedure for routine wipe-downs.
If your operation is aseptic or requires sterile materials in the cleaning program (for example, sterile core zones, sterile product contact-adjacent handling, or USP-driven sterile compounding controls),
select a sterile alcohol solution specified by your SOP and validated for your risk profile.
SOSCleanroom has been a distributor of Decon for over 10 years supporting cleanrooms across the United States. Decon Labs’ alcohol solutions are widely used
in contamination-control programs where consistent formulation, filtration, documentation, and lot traceability support day-to-day execution and audits.
12) SOSCleanroom note about SOP's
The Technical Vault is written to help customers make informed contamination-control decisions and improve day-to-day handling technique.
It is not your facility’s Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), batch record, or validation protocol.
Customers are responsible for establishing, training, and enforcing SOPs that fit their specific risks, products, equipment, cleanroom classification, and regulatory obligations.
Always confirm material compatibility, cleanliness suitability, sterility requirements, and acceptance criteria using your internal quality system and documented methods.
If you adapt any technique guidance from this entry, treat it as a starting template. Your team should review and approve the final method, then qualify it for your specific surfaces,
solvents, cleanliness limits, inspection methods, and risk profile. In short: use these best-practice suggestions to strengthen your SOPs—not to replace them.
