100% Isopropyl Alcohol 5L $23.40 + Delivery ($0 SYD C&C) @ Sydney Solvents

3030
Qwertyuiop10

Currently 12% off the $29.50 RRP at $26, and even cheaper with the code (about 20%) (already the cheapest I can find when factoring in shipping)

These are the prices for cities, even Perth is not expensive.

  • Sydney $8.17
  • Melbourne $9.10
  • Adelaide $9.46
  • Perth $11.96
  • Brisbane $9.10

If you need 70% like I use it for, buying 100% and diluting it yourself is better value 👍

I ran out recently and this is the best deal I can find in Australia. Delivery is only $9(ish) depending on where you OzBargain from. This is a better price than I can find anywhere, especially with the 10% new user sign up that appears on the screen as a popup.

The 10% discount code applies even without signing up! - But i'm not too sure about the naming of their code lol

    $30 shipping to Gold Coast kills it for me 😔.

    • +9

      I also came across this when researching! https://bosca.com.au/products/100-isopropyl-alcohol-isopropa…

      They're from the Gold coast and you could avoid shipping!

        Legend, thank you.

          $50 for 5L is a bit rich.

          For OP's deal I got "Courier Please 5kg - $9.97" delivery to Broadbeach. $34 for 5L is best price I've seen.

          • @Nalar: It was $36.50 on sale when I shared the link, but must have changed price in the last 20 minutes or so! (and could be picked up for free)

            • +1

              @OutOfTime: Oh well with couriers please shipping it's slightly cheaper to buy your original deal and I don't have to drive anywhere. So thank you!

              • +3

                @Nalar: Its still on sale for $36.50 Just got one for pickup at Leda Drive, Burleigh Waters.

                • +1

                  @Clivey In Space: I bought OPs one at $34 delivered, but I'm sure @Hardicus appreciates the heads up.

          • @Nalar: Not sure how you did that, I only have Borders Transport as a shipping option at $28.27 to 4220.

            Edit: Nevermind I refreshed the page and it popped up. Might be new as I've checked their website a few times over the years and never had the option.

            • @Hardicus: I just checked 4220 and it didn't give me the Couriers Please option only Border for $28. Site is a bit borked.

              • @Nalar: Yeah it came up but then disappeared. 4218 I can see it but not 4220. I don't think they deliver to parcel lockers so kind of stuck in my own postcode sadly.

      5 kilos for $9 to Brisbane however is actually extremely cheap, (relative to standard prices) I pay more for tiny packages on ebay!

      But the hazardous info is really interesting to know, thanks for the comment.

        Interesting, $50 shipping for me. Guess that only applies if it's coming down to Tassie.

        Thanks for correcting me!

    • Considering Aus Post seems to start at $7.95 from most sites, $9 is amazing

      I remember buying a 5L bottle and the guy over the counter cracked a joke about drinking it.
      If anybody wondering, no you shouldn't drink it….. your body will metabolize it into acetone

      And Blind.

      • +1

        Blind would be methanol. Isopropyl alcohol will still ruin your day though, and potentially put you in a coma if you ingest enough of it. As Iplau said, it metabolizes into acetone, which is LESS harmful but will still very much kill you. Don't drink iso, kids.

        • +1

          I believe acetone was banned from fingernail polish removers as inhaling acetone fumes can cause brain damage

          too late in some cases … ?! ;-)

            @Hangryuman:

            So just drink it, don't inhale the fumes.

    Thanks OP

    Anyone have recommendations on how to make your own sanitizing wipes using this?

  • Shipping kills it. $9 shipping to Mel CBD only. Rest $25.

    • Exactly.

      • These are the prices for cities, even Perth is not expensive. If you're regional, then yes it gets too expensive, but these a great prices for the majority of our population.

        • Sydney $8.17
        • Adelaide $9.46
        • Perth $11.96
        • Brisbane $9.10
        • I'll remember to echo that zero empathy "I'm all right Jack" attitude next time I hear a Millennial or Zillennial moan about not being able to buy a house in Sydney, Melbourne Brisbane… Too bad, so sad… perhaps you should move, cut down on the barista coffees and get a job not a HECS loan. <smirk>

    If you're in Melbourne and can pick up from Hallam, it's $27 when signing up to the 10% off welcome code - Isopropyl Alcohol (100% IPA ) - Note you need to click away from the 5L option and back to it to get the true price of $30. I almost fell off my chair at first when I saw $10!!!

    Was going to get from this deal $23.40 + $9.10 shipping with Courier's Please… But instead will save myself $5.50 and the headache with Courier's Please!

    • Can you please share the code if its generic? Thanks

      • +1

        Not sure if it's generic but you can try the one I received, but it needed a legit email to retrieve the code. I was given J93L87JX as the code. Please share in a reply if it works/doesn't work for you.

    Had no idea about the uses of Isopropyl Alcohol until this post lol

    Purchased the 5L bottle as figured would be quite handy for use to clean windows etc around the apartment, inside of buying something like windex.

    Bought this discounted 500ml spray bottle from Amazon to pair with it

      Be careful, if you have powder coated frames, it will damage the paint very quickly if it drips.

      Definitely spot test before using, I ruined my window frames (black powder coating paint turned white!) and am mad about it 2 years later 😢

    For anyone who is browsing the website, please dont get the 70% isopropyl alcohol for the same price. You are paying for 30% water. Get the 100% one and dilute it yourself.

  • Anyone know if this is safe to use on tinted windows? TIA.

    • yes if you dilute them, the tint is on the inside of the windows anyways, not the exterior

    • +2

      Sorry for the slow reply @PvsNP!

      I use it as a general cleaner, and all I do is pour 700ml/grams (measuring jug / kitchen scale) and combine that with 300ml/grams of water to make a 70% solution. Using a kitchen scale is probably the best way to measure. I use the 2.4l Décor Fresh Seal Clips Large Water Jug that I got for $8.25 on sale - the pouring spout makes it easier to use when transferring to a small spray bottle.

      • +2

        Using a kitchen scale is probably the best way to measure.

        No it isn't

        You aren't making a 70% solution if you are using scales.

        Isopropyl alcohol has a weight of 0.785 g/mL so adding 700 grams of isopropyl alcohol is really adding 891.62 mL

        You are really making a 74.8% v/v solution

        If you want to make a 70% solution using scales then measure 30% of 2.4L (720mL/grams) of water and then fill the container to the 2.4L mark with isopropyl alcohol.
        You'll actually end up adding slightly more than 1.68L of isopropyl alcohol to get to 2.4L so you will have 70% alc/vol (different to 70% v/v)

        If you wanted 70% v/v (which is what you get when you buy a 70% solution from a store) you'd need to measure 1.68L of isopropyl alcohol (1.32kg) and then add it to the water.
        You'd also end up with slightly less than 2.4L of liquid.

        • Silly me for not thinking about the density! I actually do have a permanent mark at 70%, to pour it in by volume. Thanks for the correction @spaceflight!

    Would like a coupon code for returning users - this is only for first time customers. I could create a new email address etc. but I'd prefer retailers just to give a price they're willing to sell to all clients.

    For 3D printing folks this is a must have.

    I have one 5L to clean the bed/general use/sanitizer and another 5L one that I managed to get contaminated so I use it only to clean my 3D printer rails and stuff that won't be affected with the oil contamination.
    I use as it is, I do not dilute it.

    Those who are having problems with delivery and all, they do have Amazon AU store and there are deals from time to time.
    Many people have Amazon Prime and it might be easier/cheaper to get it from there.

    https://www.amazon.com.au/s?k=Sydney+Solvents+Pty+Ltd

    • $24.20 delivery (with Prime.) 😮

      • $17 for me, still cheaper than buying pharmacy IPA

    Nice deal! Thanks, now I am sorted for cleaning my 3D printer and sterilising my scalp microneedler 🦡

    I also added the drum lid tap, because pouring 5L of alcohol into a spray bottle is bound to end in disappointment.

    Would this work for dumping vaped weed into to eventually strain it and have weed alcohol.

    • Yes, but only if you drink 1L per day.

  • Refuse to buy off this mob. They were the same company during covid who were selling these same 5litre bottles for upwards of $100+ each.

  • great
