Bronopol | CAS#52-51-7 | Organic antimicrobial

MedKoo Cat#: 463934 | Name: Bronopol

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Bronopol is an organic compound that is used as an antimicrobial. It is a white solid although commercial samples appear yellow. The first reported synthesis of bronopol was in 1897. Bronopol was invented by The Boots Company PLC in the early 1960s and first applications were as a preservative for pharmaceuticals. Due to its low mammalian toxicity at in-use levels and high activity against bacteria, especially Gram-negative species, bronopol became popular as a preservative in many consumer products such as shampoos and cosmetics. It was subsequently adopted as an antimicrobial in other industrial environments such as paper mills, oil exploration, and production facilities, as well as cooling water disinfection plants.
