Ammonium Bromide
Applications
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.
Safety & Risks
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.
Packaging
Supplied in 25 kg HDPE-lined bags or fiber drums. Store sealed in a cool, dry environment away from moisture and incompatible materials.
