1-Bromopropane is used as a solvent for adhesives, degreasing plastics and optics. It is used in the production of asphalt, synthetic fiber and aerosols. It is employed for cleaning the metal surfaces, electronic circuit boards, and multi-layered OLEDs (Organic Light Emitting Diodes). It serves to replace perchloroethylene as a dry cleaning solvent.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
