Looking for an NPB Bromide Replacement?

Last updated:

Ecolink 2 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, parts, and materials. The publication also called out OSHA – the Occupational Safety and Health Administration – for its ineffectiveness and inability to prevent or even severely limit the use of this chemical compound by industrial companies for everyday operations. The reason The New York Times felt it pertinent to publish this informative piece is because of the drastic rise in health related issues that are directly linked to the use of NPB Bromide. Some of the more serious health risks when being exposed to NPB Bromide include nerve damage, infertility, and cancer.

After reading the report, it is highly recommended that anyone still using n-Propyl Bromide to clean and degrease parts, metals, and materials should seek an alternative and begin looking for an NPB Bromide replacement now.
