Dibromonitrilopropionamide (DBNPA)
Applications:
Biocide in Water Treatment: Dibromonitrilopropionamide (DBNPA) is widely used as a biocide in water treatment processes, including cooling towers, reverse osmosis systems, and pulp and paper mills. It is highly effective against a broad spectrum of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and algae, helping to prevent biofouling and maintain system efficiency.
Preservative in Industrial Applications: DBNPA is also used as a preservative in various industrial formulations, such as paints, coatings, and adhesives, to prevent microbial contamination. This helps to extend the shelf life and maintain the quality of these products.
Antimicrobial Agent in Oil and Gas: In the oil and gas industry, DBNPA is employed to control microbial growth in drilling fluids, fracturing fluids, and water injection systems. This application prevents the formation of biofilms and reduces the risk of microbial-induced corrosion in pipelines and equipment.
Shelf life:
12 months
