Might be the purity? 99.9% is very hard to get, it is easier to go from 90%t0 99% than 99% to 99.9%. So, not your average alcohol for not your average cleaning/usage.

It's not rubbing alcohol. Rubbing alcohol is used as a topical antiseptic and has water, bitterants, and/or other impurities either added intentionally or unintentionally as part of the manufacturing process.

This is used industrially for cleaning, evaporating water from sensitive electronics, and as a solvent where the above mentioned impurities might cause issues.

While both are alcohol, there is a very important difference in the two and very different uses for each.

If you need rubbing alcohol for hand sanitizer, disinfecting, removing sticky labels etc, then buy the $1.29 bottle at Walgreens.

If you are cleaning residues off circuitry and the like, this is what you need.

Care to share a link?

Again I want to stress that this is MIL Spec (TT-I-735A and ASTM D770) as well as ACS grade with NFS recognition letters....this is NOT your typical 99.9% Isopropyl.

That's like buying hand santizer and saying it's cheap for alcohol, because it also has ethanol in it.

You don't buy this for wounds, you buy it because you are a company or individual that works on electronics and you don't want to risk damaging them with cheapo CVS IPA.

Once again, these are not the same products. They have different specifications, different certifications. Just because it is marked 99.9% doesn't make it the same, and if you are in a situation were those are requirements matter, some off-brand stuff is not going to suffice. I am not sure how else to explain that to you.

Would this be good for cleaning screens and lenses?

Depends on the screens and lenses.

There may be an Anti-Glare/Anti-Reflective/Scratch Resistant/UV Protection/Light filtering/etc coatings/films applied to the surface of the screen​/lenses. These may or may not be affected by Alcohols and other solvents. Unfortunately these coatings/films are almost always proprietary so there is no standard for what is safe to use and what isn't. Also, the age of these coatings can also be a factor; deterioration of the coatings over time can make them less tolerant to solvent exposure.

The manufacturer will generally provide data on what is safe to use for cleaning.

For glass, this works great as there is extremely low residue...but probably not cost effective.
