Overview
About Hydrobromic Acid 62%
Hydrobromic acid is a strong acid made by dissolving hydrogen bromide gas in water.
Our 62% grade is more concentrated than the standard 48% constant-boiling grade, which holds 47.6% HBr. It delivers more hydrogen bromide per kilogram of solution and brings less water into the process.
Like the 48% grade, it is used to produce inorganic bromides, to prepare catalysts for PTA and PET production, and as a reagent in organic synthesis.
Made from fresh virgin bromine. Our hydrobromic acid, like all our bromine derivatives, is made from fresh virgin bromine.

Storage and safety
Handling hydrobromic acid safely
Storage
- Keep tightly closed: the concentrated acid releases hydrogen bromide fumes.
- Keep containers in secondary plastic trays so drips or spills cannot corrode metal shelving.
- Store in a cool, well-ventilated area.
- Keep away from metals and other incompatible materials.
Safety
- Highly corrosive to all body tissues.
- Contact with the eyes or skin causes burns.
- Inhaling the fumes also causes burns.
- Wear acid-resistant gloves, goggles and protective clothing.
This is a general summary. Always follow the safety data sheet (SDS) supplied with the product, and local regulations for storage and transport.
