Given the USEPA is proposing a final regulatory ruling regarding the use of nPB (n-Propyl Bromide) also known as 1-bromopropane (1-BP), a question you might be asking right now if you are using nPB is “do I have to stop using nPB? and if so when?"
How do I know what vapor degreasing solvent to use? Good question, read more about 11 considerations for choosing a solvent.
So what solvent can you use as an alternative to nPB? One solvent we have vetted that is a direct replacement for n propyl bromide is AeroTron. AeroTron is a powerful cleaner that has an excellent health and safety profile while being as powerful a cleaner as nPB. US-EPA SNAP Approved
nPB is now considered a Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP) – but you can still use it in your vapor degreaser. Check out the video to learn more.
Are there other solvent alternatives to n propyl bromide? So we can keep using our current vapor degreasing equipment given the nPB (n-propyl bromide) regulatory changes? Yes, there are several leading-edge solvents available now that will provide the same cleaning power without the regulatory or health and safety issues…
It is official…nPB (1-BP) is going to become a hazardous Air Pollutant as of February 4, 2022.
