Overview
About Sodium Bromide 99%
Sodium bromide is the sodium salt of hydrobromic acid: a white crystalline solid that looks like common salt and dissolves readily in water.
Our 99% powder is used wherever a dry, easy-to-dose source of bromide is needed: in pharmaceutical and organic synthesis, in water treatment as a bromine-based biocide, and dissolved on site to make clear brines for oil and gas wells.
It is hygroscopic, so it is packed and stored to keep moisture out. Sodium bromide is also available as a 45% solution.
Made from fresh virgin bromine. Our sodium bromide, like all our bromine derivatives, is made from fresh virgin bromine.
