IPA alcohol in switzerland for sla

3DVS · 2017-01-24T20:00:15.000Z

Hi,

I’ll soon receive a Form 2 and I’m getting ready for use.

This mean I need some IPA alcohol for the finishing.

Problem is, here in switzerland it doesn’t seems to be a common thing, tried a couple pharmacies / drug stores but they didn’t knew what it was.

Same issue with diy stores.

Does somebody from Switzerland know where to source it ? Or what is the name of it here ? (I tried alcool isopropylique, isopropanol) or what can it be replaced with ?

@3DVS have you tried searching online? Not sure if there are any country-specific problems in Switzerland, but in the UK I found a ton of online suppliers for IPA, even Amazon:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/500mL-Pharmaceutical-Isopropyl-Alcohol-Isopropanol/dp/B00WLAS9W8

Hi,

I wouldn’t go to a pharmacy, it will cost way too much for a small amount.

Try and buy a 25L container at a Reagent online. That should last you over a year for moderate use. In the UK that would set you back about £80/100

We use 99% alcohol content.

Thanks,

James

Hi,

We are not from Switzerland but maybe you can try the same webshop where we buy ours: Résultats rech. pr isopropano | Höfer Shop

It’s not expensive and they are really fast to deliver.

Sincerely,

Hi all, thanks a lot for the answers!

Höfer Chemie doesn’t ship to Switzerland (contacted them direclty via email yesterday :), idem from amazon)

ReAgent ships only to UK.

The only seller I’ve found is this (on amazon DE) : Amazon.de

I can get 10 liters for around 55 euros, including shipping, sound great, what do you think ?

The only apparent problem is that it comes in non marked bottles, so you’re not really sure it’s pure IPA…

Hello,

You can find isopropyl alcohol at this address : Alcool Isopropylique 1L (location in Valenciennes near Lille)

Payment and delivery by chronpost. It is a serious site very reactive.

Good ptinting with your Form 2. This is the best printer.

Regads,

Thank you, I’ve send them a message.

I wasn’t using the right term (isopropylalkohol in one word) apparently there is even a 3d shop selling it : https://www.3dprofi.ch/zubehoer/zubehoer-3d-verbrauch-sla/isopropylalkohol-99-9-1l-inkl-voc.html

But quite expensive…

I may order some there until I find a better source (amazon de, …).

Thanks

My best luck with getting it at a good price was actually going to local hardware stores.

3DVS · 2017-01-25T14:03:01.000Z

Actually it’s not that easy in switzerland.

I’ve found 1 that has it (but you have to preorder it and then go to get it) and it’s ~12 usd per liter.

Collin9199 · 2017-01-25T14:13:35.000Z

After a cursory google search, it looks like your best bet to get it in Switzerland is amazon germany.
