| Compound Description | 1-Bromopropane is a colorless liquid. Commercial 1-bromopropane includes not only 1-bromopropane, but also additives that improve its performance in the desired application and stabilizers to inhibit decomposition. 1-Bromopropane was originally used in the production of pesticides, flavors and fragrances, pharmaceuticals, and other chemicals.1-bromopropane appears as a colorless liquid. Slightly denser than water and slightly soluble in water. Flash point below 75 °F. When heated to high temperatures may emit toxic fumes. Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Toxic fumes of Hydrogen Bromide 1-bromopropane is a bromoalkane that is propane carrying a bromo substituent at position 1. It has a role as a neurotoxin and a solvent. It is a bromoalkane and a bromohydrocarbon.1-Bromopropane is a natural product found in Ascophyllum nodosum, Mastocarpus stellatus, and other organisms with data available.1-bromopropane is an organobromide compound. It is a widely used organic solvent used for the cleaning of metal surfaces, removal of soldering residues from electronic circuit boards, and in the hole transport layer of multi-layered OLEDs. It is also a solvent for adhesives and has been deployed as a replacement for perchloroethylene as a dry cleaning solvent. Its use as a solvent in aerosol glues used to glue foam cushions has been especially problematic. 1-bromopropane’s increasing use in the 21st century resulted from need for a substitute for chlorofluorocarbons and perchloroethylene . In 2013, a peer-review panel convened by the National Toxicology Program unanimously recommended that 1-bromopropane should be classified as a reasonably anticipated human carcinogen. |
