CAS No.: 52-51-7

Molecular Formula: C3H6BrNO4                            Molecular Weight: 199.99

Structural Formula:

Property:

Appearance - Bronopol is supplied as crystals or crystalline powder, which may vary from white to pale yellow in colour depending on the grade of material being offered.

Melting Point - As a pure material, Bronopol has a melting point of about 130℃. However due to its polymorphic characteristics, Bronopol undergoes a lattice rearrangement at 100 to 105℃ and this can often be wrongly interpreted as the melting point.

At temperatures above 140℃ Bronopol will decompose exothermically releasing Hydrogen bromide and oxides of Nitrogen.

Solubility - Bronopol is readily soluble in water although the dissolution process is endothermic. Solutions containing up to 28% w/v are possible at ambient temperature. Bronopol is poorly soluble in non-polar solvents but shows a high affinity for polar organic solvents.

Usage:

As bactericide, Bronopol is widely used in industrial circulating water, algae-killing, paper pulp, paint, plastic, timber-cooling circulating water and other industries. In addition, Bronopol can be used to prevent daily-used cosmetic products from moldly and corrosion.

Package and Storage:

Packed by paper drum( 25KG/50KG) or as per customer requirement.

Store Bronopol in cool, dry and ventilative places. Keep away from incompatible substance. It can not be stored together with food and feedstuff.
