James,
n-propyl bromide NPB is an "up and comer" for our industry.  However, I
would caution people that no all NPB is the same.  We have tested it from
different suppliers and one failed Bellcore SIR/electromigration testing.
So be careful with extending what you are doing to circuit boards/packs.
