Overview
About Lithium Bromide 55%
Lithium bromide is the lithium salt of hydrobromic acid. It is strongly hygroscopic: a concentrated solution readily absorbs water vapour, which is what makes it so useful in cooling and drying systems.
We supply it as a 55% solution in water, the concentration used to charge and top up lithium bromide and water absorption chillers for air conditioning and industrial cooling. It is also used in air and gas drying equipment and as a reagent in organic synthesis.
Lithium bromide does not burn, and as a solution it is easy to transfer, meter and store.
Made from fresh virgin bromine. Our lithium bromide, like all our bromine derivatives, is made from fresh virgin bromine.
