Two years ago, the National Toxicology Program (NTC) and a panel of scientific experts voted unanimously to categorize 1-bromopropane (a.k.a n-propyl bromide) as “reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.” No studies have measured the carcinogenic effects of it...
n-Propyl Bromide (nPB) also known as 1-Bromopropane or (1-BP), CAS # 106-94-5 is a brominated hydrocarbon solvent used in a variety of industrial applications, e.g. hand wipe, vapor degreasing, Ultrasonic cleaning, non-destructive inspection and aerosol...
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...
An abundant source of information has recently come out about the negative and serious side effects of using n-Propyl Bromide, or n-PB. Recently, The New York Times published an eye-opening piece describing how hazardous the NPB Bromide chemical agent is to the...
A few months ago, The New York Times published a report damning the use of n-PB, also known as n-Propyl Bromide, which is a chemical compound that is used for many reasons, but as it pertains to this blog, one such use involves the cleaning and degreasing of metals,...
