2-2 dibromo-3-nitrilopropionamide (DBNPA) is a brominated acetamide. Its synonym is 2,2-Dibromo-2-carbamoylacetonitrile Alpha, alpha-Dibromo-alpha-cyanoacetamide Dibromocyanoacetamide. The physical appearance of DBNPA is an off-white solid at ambient temperatures with a mild antiseptic odor and is often sold in powder form. DBNPA is often used as an algicide, bactericide and fungicide in industrial water treatment systems and as a preservative used in the manufacture of paper, glues, coatings, enhanced oil recovery systems and metalworking.^[2]^[3]
