Can I use industrial grade isopropyl alcohol for sanitizer?

Is 90% or 70% isopropyl alcohol better?
70 % isopropyl alcohol is by far better at killing bacteria and viruses than 90 % isopropyl alcohol. As a disinfectant, the higher the concentration of alcohol, the less effective it is at killing pathogens. Coagulation of surface proteins proceeds at a slower pace, thereby allowing the alcohol to enter the cell.

Amy Ray said no, hydrogen peroxide from the bottle should not be used as a hand sanitizer. “The concentration we would use and what’s available at your local grocery store and pharmacy is not intended for disinfection,” she said. “It is intended for antisepsis, which is essentially taking care of a contaminated wound.”
Why is isopropyl alcohol so expensive?
(Propylene is the input used in isopropyl alcohol manufacture, but there is very little propylene in either petroleum or natural gas, so in practice they have to convert propane to propylene.) So there’s more refining needed, and therefore more costly, to produce a single organic chemical like isopropyl alcohol.
