How to Reduce Exposure to CAS 106-94-5 n-PB, 1-Bromopropane Solvent Substitution – Using Safer Alternatives The best way to reduce exposure is to switch to products that do not contain n-Propyl Bromide, nPB. There are lots of nonflammable solvents with high Kb...
n-Propyl Bromide Exposure Risks In March 2013, National Toxicology Program (NTP) and a panel of experts unanimously voted to list 1-bromopropane, also known as nPB, CAS # 106-94-5, as a “reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen,” based on the animal studies...
So how much SHOULD you pay to replace AK-225? That depends on several factors such as Nonflammable? Solvency (Kb value)? Need for azeotropes? Tolerance of chlorinated solvents? Toxicity exposure limits (PPM)? VOC content? In order to continue to operate with...
Still using AK-225 (HCFC-225ca/cb)? Not for much longer. Depending on who you ask in the industry and US government regulatory agencies the official mandated phase-out date is December 31, 2014 for HCFC-225 commonly known as Asahiklin AK-225 for precision cleaning,...
