2,2-Dibromo-3-nitrilopropionamide (CAS 10222-01-2), known as DBNPA, is a non-oxidizing biocide. It controls bacteria, algae, and fungi in industrial water systems and is used as a preservative in pulp and paper-mill water, cooling water, metalworking fluids, oilfield drilling muds, and latex emulsions and paints.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is DBNPA?
DBNPA (2,2-dibromo-3-nitrilopropionamide, CAS 10222-01-2, C3H2Br2N2O) is a fast-acting, non-oxidizing biocide. It controls bacteria, algae, and fungi in industrial water systems and degrades relatively quickly in water. RawSource supplies it in bulk to water-treatment and industrial formulators.
What is DBNPA used for?
DBNPA is used for microbial control in cooling and process water, slime control in pulp and paper-mill water, preservation of metalworking fluids, biocide treatment in oilfield drilling muds and recovery fluids, and in-can preservation of latex emulsions and paints.
Is DBNPA the same as 2,2-dibromo-2-cyanoacetamide?
Yes, those are alternate names for the same active, CAS 10222-01-2, commonly written as 2,2-dibromo-3-nitrilopropionamide. Confirm identity by CAS number on the CoA, since DBNPA is supplied in several active-content presentations.
What forms and active contents is bulk DBNPA available in?
DBNPA is typically supplied as the active solid or in solution/glycol-carrier presentations at defined active percentages; specify your required active content and packaging so the correct grade is matched. Pricing is volume-dependent, so request a bulk quote. CoA and SDS ship with each order.
What UN number and shipping rules apply to DBNPA?
2,2-Dibromo-3-nitrilopropionamide is assigned UN 2923. It is a regulated material and must be shipped per DOT/IMDG/IATA requirements for its packing group; RawSource handles compliant bulk shipment with SDS and CoA. Confirm DOT details with our team before booking freight.
