Nipakobin


Explanation:
I guess it is the name for this specific mixture, so no need to translate. p-Hydroxy-benzoesäuremethylester is also called NIPAGIN and p-Hydroxybenzoesäure-propylester NIPASOL (because they are made by Nipa Laboratories).

agree  Kcda: I think so too that the "nipa" prefix most probably has to do with the laboratories. Otherwise a research on "nipakobin - nipagin - nipasol" does not bear much fruits. I also would leave it as is like you said "specific mixture"

  -> Thanks. But already nipakobin alone doesn't give any google hits (except for this site). It might be a new name they just created.

neutral  Steffen Walter: Seems to be NipakoMbin/NipacoMbin according to my web search.
