100% Isopropyl Alcohol 5L $22.50 (New Customers Only) + Delivery ($0 NSW C&C) @ Sydney Solvents

This item is back to the ATL seen before in June. Priced at $25/5L with the 10% new purchaser's code entered at the checkout, no need to actually sign up first in order to use the generic code. Shipping extra or you can pick up from their Penrith warehouse for free.

See the product page for heaps of uses around the house & garden and you'll be surprised what it's good for. I primarily like to use it for removing adhesive residue and cleaning up water-based paint spots.

Also available is a bonus item Vanilla Caramel - Multi Purpose Spray 250mL valued at $19.95, but if you add it to the cart the discount code will no longer apply.

Here are some example shipping costs to major centres:

  • Sydney - $8.50
  • Brisbane - $9.46
  • Canberra - $10.08
  • Melbourne - $9.46
  • Adelaide - $9.83
  • Perth - $12.43

Regional/remote/NT/TAS are all more expensive for shipping than the cost of the product, so you may be better off looking for a similar product elsewhere. E.g. for me to get it to Launceston is nearly $46 (boo).

      i tried putting 2 in my cart cause of my hoarding tendencies, and got this. you'll see the $8.50 if you just have 1 item

    $44 shipping to Tas. Cheaper on eBay.

  • That 10 wrecked the code. Was otherwise a perfect line.

  • This is a good product. I've been using the same 5ltr bottle for 2 years. Id imagine it will last me another 10 years. I picked up from factory to save money.

  • Great deal! I stopped using IPA as glasses cleaner when I managed to disintegrate a brand new pair of plastic specsavers frames. That was an expensive chemistry lesson.

      Acetate frame? Wait until it touches acetone…

  • What is the difference between Border Transport and Courier Please? Am I correct to assume if you need it in Melb, you have to select Border Transport and anywhere within Perth is Courier Please?

    • Nope, I selected Couriers Please for Melbourne.

    If you're in Melbourne you can buy from Melbourne Solvents instead. The price is not far off, probably will be cheaper in total if you pick it up yourself.
    https://www.melbournesolvents.com.au/products/isopropyl-alco… (100% IPA $30/5L)
    https://www.melbournesolvents.com.au/products/cap-tap-tap-ca… (the tap cap $5.50)

    Bought from them a while ago, also 5L, Still got half unused. Remember to cap the bottle after pouring!

      They are the first place I checked when seeing this deal but given how far on the east side they are, it's cheaper than petrol and easier to just get it delivered in this deal for most suburbs. Maybe if their base price was the same …

    • A real OzBargainer will buy the 200L barrel at $3.50/L and divvy it up with fellow OzBargainers

  • Thanks OP, was just thinking I needed some

  • Thanks OP. Copped last time and still have half left. I wipe down my instant read thermometer with this and a paper towel (among many other uses).

    Cheers OP. Grabbed some. Go through this stuff pretty quickly with household cleaning

  • Thanks OP, always useful stuff to have around

  • Adding that bonus spray without the code doesn’t seem
    to work. Still adds an extra $19.95 to order total.

    Just chatted to them, you have to use the VANILLACARAMEL code at checkout if you want the spray bottle freebie included

      gets you the spray bottle but removes the 10% but still better value if you want the spray

    if you're in WA it works out $40 cheaper to buy 20 litres from westchem and collect it. The freight on 20 from Sydney is 71 bucks.

      how long it took you to use one 5L

  • I can remember paying about $30 for a small (maybe 100-200ml) bottle of this stuff back in the days when needing to clean the heads and rollers of my Walkman and VCR!

    For those outside metro like me, you can get it for $45 inc. fast shipping to anywhere in Australia.

  • bought some,hope if OP thinks it’s worth the effort, will see deals sometimes , ebay might be cheaper but competition is good all round for keeping price down.

  • Ordered Tuesday night and delivered Thursday morning to metro Melbourne, that was quick!

  • Shipping absolutely destroys the deal unfortunately

    Shipping of 2x 5L to WA is $47.93 which is more expensive than the Iso itself.

    Guess I'll keep buying it from a medical supplies warehouse for my resin printing….

  • What are the chances of this self combust when kept in garage that can reach 40 deg ?

    • +1

      Is that a serious question? If so, Google is your friend. Perhaps if garage was 399 °C I'd be concerned. :-)

  • Good share OP, & it's actually been $25 constantly, since the June deal.

    I've been holding off, hoping it goes even cheaper :)

    A reminder that Americans often use isopropyl because that is what is available there.
    In Australia we have "metho" - denatured alcohol - in every supermarket.

    They often do the same job - cleaning, hand sanitiser, etc. Don't use this just because an American told you to.

    • -1

      Huh, no idea what you are noting as they are different things. Isopropyl is a default product here and nothing to do with USA. Perhaps Google "Methylated spirits (denatured alcohol) vs isopropyl alcohol".

      • +1

        I think i made it very clear.
        They are two different alcohols that are commonly used for the same purpose.
        If you already know the advantages of each then great. But a few people for example, referred to it being used in hand sanitiser, unaware that we normally use ethanol in Australia.

    • In Australia we have "metho" - denatured alcohol - in every supermarket.

      isn't that still more expensive than this deal?

      Also can you use to clean TV and computer monitors?

      Most recommend to use isopropyl and never seem any that say can use metho…

      metho is also flammable and not sure if it is that safe to get it on your skin/fingers

      • Isopropyl is more pure. The denaturant in metho can potentially be an issue.
        But I use metho all the time for cleaning. Its just an FYI, as most of the advice is not AU-specific.

        Is isopropyl not flammable???

  • To refill the 345ml green bottle its:

    227ml of the 100% Isopropyl
    127.7ml of distilled water

    This assumes a 9.57ml contraction.
