Nontraditional Use of the Biocide DBNPA in Coatings Manufacture

摘要

The synthesis and molecular structure of 2,2-dibromo-3-nitrilopropion-amide(DBNPA)was reported by Hesse in 1896,but its antimicrobial properties were not discovered until nearly 50 years later.The DBNPA molecule was employed initially only as a seed fungicide,but was later used as a slimicide in pulp and paper and in cooling water applications.
