If 1-bromopane (a.k.a. NPB) were a person, it would be someone whose career started out on a high note due to his great effectiveness, but gradually descended into the gutter due to his increasingly obvious caustic qualities. To extend the analogy, using 1-bromopane as a cleaning solution is similar to hiring someone whose bad characteristics […]
NPB (a.k.a. n propyl bromide) is a strong cleaning agent that is used for various types of cleaning applications, from simple surface cleaning projects to heavy-duty degreasing operations. Although the solvent works well for its intended uses, it is now in the dubious position of the hazardous, chlorinated cleaning solvents it replaced: It is considered […]
Contact cleaner is formulated to clean the electrical contacts in equipment and devices that complete the electrical circuits they contain. In most cases, companies and organizations choose to apply contact cleaner in one of three forms: aerosol, liquid, or wipes. However, it should also be noted that some entities decide to use all three forms […]
Propyl bromide (a.k.a. n propyl bromide and NPB) is a cleaning agent that widely replaced older, chlorinated solutions that contain chlorofluorocarbons and perchloroethylene. However, while propyl bromide may have a better safety profile than some of its counterparts, it isn’t “safe” to use in the conventional sense of the word. In fact, the cleaner’s safety […]
Across the globe, the industrial cleaning solutions industry literally produces thousands of different aerosol solvent degreaser solutions for general cleaning. However, as one would expect, the efficacy of the cleaners varies widely. The safeness of the cleaners for humans and the environment also differs considerably. With these things in mind, below are six important questions […]
