Bronopol Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- 2-Bromo-2-Nitropropane-1,3-Diol
- 1,3-Propanediol, 2-Bromo-2-Nitro-
Bronopol supplier in Malaysia for industrial preservation, process-water, pulp and paper, coating and polymer-dispersion requirements. Bronopol is the common name for 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol, a white crystalline preservative and non-oxidising biocide active selected by purity, physical form and formulation compatibility.
Technical crystalline grades serve industrial process and maintenance work, while fine formulation grades are used for in-can preservation of compatible paints, coatings, adhesives, pigment slurries and latex systems. High-purity material suits controlled formulation and analytical work that sets tighter assay and related-substance limits.
Buyers commonly define assay, appearance, moisture, solution pH, insoluble matter and related substances. This page covers the bronopol substance rather than a prepared solution or multi-active blend, and it does not provide a generic treatment dose.
Send the required bronopol grade, physical form, purity specification, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing and documentation are confirmed with the quotation.

Bronopol grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Technical crystalline bronopol | white to off-white crystals, granules or powder | — | Industrial process-water, pulp and paper and maintenance formulations that specify bronopol as the active substance and define the receiving purity and impurity limits. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Formulation-grade bronopol | fine crystalline powder | — | In-can preservation of water-based paints, coatings, adhesives, pigment slurries, latex and polymer dispersions where the formulator has selected bronopol for compatibility with the complete system. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| High-purity bronopol | white crystalline powder | — | Controlled formulation trials, analytical preparation and specialist manufacturing work requiring tighter assay, moisture and related-substance controls than a general technical grade. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about bronopol
What is bronopol?
Bronopol is the common name for 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol, a defined preservative and non-oxidising biocide active identified by CAS 52-51-7. It should be specified separately from other brominated or non-oxidising biocides.
Is bronopol the same as DBNPA?
No. Bronopol and DBNPA are different chemical substances with different identities and product specifications. A treatment or formulation naming one should not substitute the other solely because both are brominated actives.
Which bronopol grade should I request?
Technical crystalline material suits many industrial uses, formulation grades focus on compatibility and in-can preservation requirements, and high-purity material uses tighter receiving controls. State the application and attach the required specification.
Can bronopol be requested as a prepared liquid solution?
This page covers bronopol as the defined active substance. If a prepared solution is required, provide the active concentration, carrier, pH and other formulation constraints so the liquid product can be assessed separately rather than assumed from the bronopol name.
Is dosing guidance included for water-treatment applications?
No. Dose, contact time and operating conditions depend on the system and the buyer's treatment programme. The enquiry should state the water or process application and incoming product specification, not request a generic dose.
What specifications should accompany a bronopol enquiry?
Provide the target assay and any limits for appearance, moisture, solution pH, insoluble matter and related substances. Add the required physical form, application, quantity, delivery location and document list.
How do I request a bronopol price in Malaysia?
Send the required grade, assay and impurity specification, physical form, quantity and delivery location. Packing, documentation, delivery details and price validity are confirmed with the quotation.
