N-Propyl Bromide for vapour degreasing in United Kingdom

N-Propyl Bromide (nPB), Trichloroethylene (TCE) and Perchloroethylene (Perc) are highly toxic chemicals commonly used in degreasers to provide cleaning performance in a nonflammable formula.Vapor degreasing is the cleaning process which involves condensing solvents vapors on the object that is being cleaned. The process doesn't require any water or scrubbing. Instead, the vapor-degreasing machine uses solvent vapors to cleanse and remove contaminants from parts.1-Bromopropane (n-propylbromide or nPB) is an organobromine compound with the chemical formula CH3CH2CH2Br.

Most MicroCare, Opteon, Vertrel and Tergo cleaning fluids boil at very mild temperatures, usually between 40˚C/105˚F and 65°C/165°F, depending upon the exact formulation. Low temperatures enhance worker safety and also keep energy costs down. In fact, many modern vapor degreasers operate on 25 amps or less.

Benefits include

Superior cleaning performance (Kb value = 103)

Excellent environmental profile: Low GWP ; No ODP 100% Non-Flammable

Fast-Drying and low boiling point (47°C)

Ideal replacement for nPB and TCE
