1,2-Dibromo-3-Chloropropane Supplier & Distributor

ChemicalBull supports B2B enquiries for 1,2-Dibromo-3-Chloropropane, also known as DBCP, for permitted industrial and chemical-intermediate requirements.

Buyers looking for 1,2-Dibromo-3-Chloropropane bulk price, purity details, COA, MSDS, TDS, packing information and commercial supply can share their quantity, specification, application and delivery location with ChemicalBull.

1,2-Dibromo-3-Chloropropane was historically used as an agricultural soil fumigant and nematode-control chemical. However, because of serious health and environmental concerns, agricultural use has been discontinued or heavily restricted in major markets. Current recognised use is mainly as a chemical intermediate for controlled industrial synthesis.


Overview of 1,2-Dibromo-3-Chloropropane

1,2-Dibromo-3-Chloropropane is commonly known as DBCP or Dibromochloropropane.

Its CAS number is 96-12-8.

The product was widely used in the past for agricultural pest control but is now primarily relevant for controlled chemical synthesis and specialised industrial requirements.

For B2B procurement, buyers should focus on purity, intended use, regulatory eligibility, packing, safety documentation and supply compliance.


Applications of 1,2-Dibromo-3-Chloropropane

Chemical Intermediate Manufacturing

The main recognised current application of DBCP is as a chemical intermediate.

It may be used by authorised industrial processors as a starting material for producing other specialised organic chemicals. EPA specifically notes chemical synthesis as a remaining use after its agricultural applications were cancelled.

Specialty Chemical Production

DBCP may be required in selected specialty chemical manufacturing processes where its specific composition is needed as an upstream raw material.

For these requirements, buyers should clearly specify the intended industrial use when requesting commercial supply.

Organic Chemical Synthesis

Approved industrial facilities may use 1,2-Dibromo-3-Chloropropane in controlled organic synthesis.

Because this chemical has significant health risks, it should only be handled in properly controlled industrial environments with suitable safety procedures.

Custom Industrial Synthesis

Specialty chemical companies may require DBCP for custom synthesis programs or other controlled manufacturing requirements.

For such purchases, documentation, end-use information and applicable regulatory requirements should be confirmed before supply.

Historical Nematicide Use

DBCP was historically used as a soil fumigant and nematicide to control plant-parasitic nematodes. In the United States, it was used on more than 40 crops before registrations were progressively suspended and eventually cancelled.

This should be treated as a historical application, not as a recommendation for present-day agricultural use.

Historical Soil Fumigation

The product was also formerly used for soil treatment before crop planting.

Due to serious reproductive, toxicological and environmental concerns, this application has been discontinued or restricted in major markets.
