N-propyl bromide The solvent covered by ASTM D7553, n-propyl bromide, has been approved by the US Environmental Protection Agency under its Significant New Alternatives Policy as an alternative to chlorofluorocarbons.
The compounds are hexachlorobutadiene (a solvent used to make vinyl chloride), n-propyl bromide (a solvent that is used in pharmaceutical production), 6-bromo-2-methoxyl-napthalene (used to make the fumigant, methyl bromide) and halon-1202 (used in fire extinguishers).
Discounting methyl bromide and ethylene dibromide, whose use is being regulated out of existence, brominated hydrocarbons will enjoy above-average growth as TBBA increases its share of the flame retardants market and compounds such as n-propyl bromide find growing use in such diverse applications as solvents, adhesives and electronics cleaning, often as a replacement for more environmentally suspect substances.
