Ammonium Bromide
Ammonium bromide (NH₄Br) is a white crystalline salt with high solubility in water and a characteristic mild saline taste. It is widely used as a controlled bromide source and intermediate in photographic, chemical, and oilfield applications. Its hygoscopic nature requires careful packaging and storage to maintain purity.
Ammonium Bromide
In the photographic industry, ammonium bromide is utilized in light-sensitive emulsions for film and plate manufacturing. In oil and gas operations, it is a key additive in clear-brine completion fluids to control formation pressure. It also serves as a catalyst component in organic synthesis and flame-retardant systems.
Moderately irritating to eyes and skin; prolonged exposure can lead to bromine-related effects. Avoid contact with oxidizing agents, acids, and heat sources that release bromine vapors. Provide adequate ventilation and personal protection.
Supplied in 25 kg HDPE-lined bags or fiber drums. Store sealed in a cool, dry environment away from moisture and incompatible materials.
