N-Propyl Bromide

Normal or n-propyl bromide (propyl bromide) is primarily used as a solvent in engineered cleaning applications or as a “building block” chemical where it is reacted with other chemicals in highly-controlled industrial settings to make other chemical products. It has strong solvent capabilities and readily cleans oils and other soils from machined metal parts. Propyl bromide can be safely used in industrial settings where engineering controls and personal protective equipment are used in concert with administrative controls to minimize exposure and prevent releases of the chemical.
