Description

2-Bromo-2-Nitrobutane-1,3-Diol is a versatile bromonitro diol compound with significant biocidal and preservative properties. This chemical is valued for its efficacy as an antimicrobial agent, offering reliable performance in formulations requiring broad-spectrum protection. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, industrial preservation, and water treatment industries for its ability to inhibit microbial growth and extend product shelf life.

Application

• Cosmetics and Personal Care Preservative: Used in creams, lotions, shampoos, and other leave-on and rinse-off formulations to prevent spoilage from bacteria and fungi.
• Industrial Biocide: Effective in cooling water systems, metalworking fluids, and paper mill process waters to control microbial contamination and biofouling.
• Adhesive and Polymer Stabilizer: Incorporated into adhesive, sealant, and polymer emulsions to provide in-can preservation and prevent viscosity loss.
• Paints and Coatings Additive: Acts as a can preservative and dry-film fungicide in water-based paint and coating formulations.
• Household and Institutional Products: Utilized in liquid soaps, detergents, and hard surface cleaners for antimicrobial efficacy.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Serves as a specialized building block in organic synthesis for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to its reactive bromo and nitro functional groups.

Quality Control

Our 2-Bromo-2-Nitrobutane-1,3-Diol is manufactured under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as purity, identity, and impurity profiles. Our quality commitment aligns with industrial good manufacturing practices to meet the stringent requirements of our global B2B clientele.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption and degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong reducing agents.
