English term or phrase: 18% isopropanol by weight
In addition, 400 litres of slightly contaminated isopropanol has been delivered to an authorised handler and 100 kg of contaminated waste has been sent for disposal, which is 18% isopropanol by weight, and 400 kg of waste which is 8% toluene by weight.

Cette phrase apparaît dans une étude de cas. J'aimerais connaître les différentes manières de formuler cette expression (Peut-on formuler les choses de cette manière : 18% en poids d’isopropanol ?)

Un grand merci à l'avance pour votre aide précieuse !
