Hi, Ramil. Are you looking for n-propyl bromide as an almost drop-in replacement or are you studying new technology alternatives like aqueous cleaning and ultrasonics? For anything other than a drop-in replacement, I don't think anyone can help you until you tell us what you are doing. Substrate material, size, quantity, etc.

"Green" is a vague term and a vague concept, but I don't think I'd call n-propyl bromide "green" myself. Good luck.

Regards,

Ted Mooney, P.E.
