n-Propyl Bromide
Industrial Applications
n-Propyl Bromide (n-PB) is widely used as a solvent in industrial and commercial applications. It is effective for degreasing metals, cleaning electronic components, and in precision cleaning operations due to its strong solvency power. n-Propyl Bromide is also used in adhesive formulations, paint removers, coatings, and as a reaction intermediate in organic synthesis. Its low residue and fast evaporation make it ideal for applications where rapid drying and minimal contamination are required.
Physical Properties
n-Propyl Bromide is a colorless, volatile liquid with a mild ether-like odor. It is poorly soluble in water but miscible with many organic solvents. It has a relatively low boiling point and moderate vapor pressure, which contributes to its fast evaporation rate. n-Propyl Bromide is chemically stable under normal conditions but is flammable and should be handled with proper safety precautions.
