N propyl bromide is a colorless liquid that is commonly used for general, heavy-duty cleaning operations. Use of the product experienced a major upswing when it was declared to be a safe replacement for chlorinated solvents. However, as with the solvents it replaced,...
Trichloroethylene (TCE) was widely used in industrial degreasing since the 1920s. However, its inclusion on the EPA’s list of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) led to a sharp decline in its use. Many companies turned to n-propyl bromide (NPB) as an alternative, but NPB...
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...
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...
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,...
