Product Introduction
1-Bromopropane (CAS 106-94-5), commonly known as n-Propyl Bromide (nPB), is an organic compound with the molecular formula C3H7Br. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, chloroform-like odor. Due to its excellent solvency and relatively fast evaporation rate, 1-Bromopropane (CAS 106-94-5) has become a widely used alternative to ozone-depleting substances and chlorinated solvents in industrial cleaning applications. It also serves as a high-reactivity alkylating agent in organic synthesis.
Product Selling Points
-
High Purity (≥ 99.5%): Chemfine ensures a strictly controlled distillation process to provide an exceptionally clean product for both solvent and synthesis uses.
-
Low Moisture Content (≤ 0.05%): Minimized water content prevents hydrolysis and ensures high yields in moisture-sensitive chemical reactions.
-
Excellent Solvency: Efficiently dissolves oils, greases, and fluxes, making it ideal for high-precision vapor degreasing.
-
Stable Reactivity: As a primary alkyl bromide, it reacts predictably in nucleophilic substitution (SN2) reactions to introduce the propyl group.
-
Zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP): A common industrial replacement for CFCs and HCFCs in cleaning processes.
-
Global Logistics Support: Shipped in UN-certified heavy-duty drums with comprehensive hazardous material documentation.

Storage
1-Bromopropane is a flammable and volatile liquid. It must be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse. Keep containers tightly sealed and away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Store away from strong oxidizing agents, strong bases, and reactive metals (such as aluminum, magnesium, and zinc) to avoid hazardous reactions. Properly stored, it has a shelf life of 24 months.
