Hydrobromic Acid
Hydrobromic Acid is one of the strongest mineral acids known, characterized by its high acidity and strong reducing properties. It is typically supplied as a 48% Aqueous Solution for industrial and laboratory use.
The acid is a critical Technical Grade reagent for the production of inorganic bromides and organic bromo-compounds. Its high reactivity facilitates the cleavage of ethers and the alkylation of specialized chemical intermediates.
In the electronics sector, it is used as a high-purity etching agent for semiconductor manufacturing and as an electrolyte in advanced battery systems. It maintains high stability when stored in UV-protected, corrosion-resistant containers.
Hydrobromic Acid
- Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Used to produce therapeutic bromides and as a catalyst in organic chemical reactions.
- Catalysis: Acts as an efficient catalyst in the PTA/PET production process for the textiles industry.
- Metal Extraction: Employed in the mining industry for the leaching and purification of specific precious metals.
Classified as Corrosive (Category 1B) and Respiratory Irritant. Mandatory use of Acid-Resistant Suits, Face Shields, and Vapor Respirators is required.
Standard packaging includes 250 kg drums, 30 kg carboys, and 1200 kg IBC tanks.
