  • Applications

    Sodium Bromide (CAS 7647-15-6) is widely used as a source of bromide ions in organic synthesis, enabling bromination steps and serving as a building block for brominated intermediates in chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing. In the photography industry, Sodium Bromide is used to form silver bromide emulsions for classic photographic processes. In oil and gas operations, it is employed in high-density brine solutions as a base for drilling fluids and completion fluids. It also serves as a reagent in analytical chemistry for halide determinations and can function as a precursor to brominated organic compounds in specialty chemical production.
