Chemical Name: Hydrobromic Acid

Formula: HBr

CAS Number: 10035-10-6

HBr content: 48-49%

Molecular Weight: 80.9

General info and Field of Use:

Hydrobromic acid is a diatomic molecule that consists of hydrogen and bromine atoms. It has a covalent bond between hydrogen and bromine. It is also know as Hydrogen Bromide.

It is very strong acid as the covalent bond between them can be easily ionized due to the high electronegativity of the Bromine atom. It is stronger than the Hydrochloric acid.

Hydrobromic Acid (HBr) is used as a source of Bromine in industrial syntheses. It is a strong acid in aqueous solution, used for preparation of catalyst in PTA/PET production, Oil & Gas Clear Brine Fluids, electrolyte for energy storage, and as a hydrobromination agent in a broad range of organic processes (for Pharma and Agro applications).

Chemical Name: Tetrabromobisphenol A 

Formula: C15H12Br4O2

CAS Number: 79-94-7

Molecular Weight: 543.9

Melting Point: 178 °C

General info and Field of Use:

Brominated flame retardants are well recognised as being highly effective flame retardants. TBBPA is the brominated flame retardant with the largest production volume today and is used to improve fire safety, mainly of laminates in electrical and electronic equipment. Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) is primarily used as a reactive flame retardant in Polycarbonate and ether, in plastics, paper, and textiles, and as a plasticizer in adhesives and coatings.

Chemical Name: Calcium Bromide 

Formula: CaBr2

Density: 1.7 SG

Calcium Bromide Content: 52%

CAS Number: 7789-41-5

Molecular Weight: 199.89

Crystallization Point:  -10°C

General info and Field of Use:

Calcium Bromide Liquor is a single-salt solution, ready-to-use, to form clear brine workover and completion fluids that require densities from 8.4 to 14.2 lb/gal. Calcium Bromide is used alone or mixed with Calcium Chloride and/or Zinc/Calcium Bromide to achieve a clear, solids-free fluid over a wide range of densities and crystallization temperatures. It provides inhibition, preventing the hydration and migration of swelling clays, and can be used as packer fluids or to adjust the density of other brine systems. It may also be used in the aqueous phase of invert emulsion systems.

Chemical Name: Sodium Bromide 

Formula: NaBr

Density: 1.5 SG

Sodium Bromide Content: 45%

CAS Number: 7647-15-6

Molecular Weight: 102.89

Crystallization Point:  0°C

General info and Field of Use:

Sodium Bromide brine is used as a single salt brine or in combination with other brines to form clear-brine workover and completion fluids with densities from 8.4 to 12.5 lb/gal. Sodium Bromide brines may be used as part of a NaCl/NaBr blend.

In cases where formation fluids contain significant concentrations of sulfate, bicarbonate or carbonate, sodium bromide fluids and sodium chloride/sodium bromide fluids will not form precipitates.

Chemical Name: Zinc Bromide 

Formula: ZnBr2

Density: 2.3 SG

Zinc Bromide Content: 72%

CAS Number: 7699-45-8

Molecular Weight: 225.2

Crystallization Point:  -6.66°C

General info and Field of Use:

Zinc Bromide is a divalent salt that consists of one zinc ion and two bromide ions. Zinc Bromide brines are inherently acidic due to the properties of the zinc ion. Zinc Bromide is used in the oilfield as a single salt brine or solely in combination with Calcium Halide brines (Bromide and Chloride) to extend the fluid density.

Chemical Name: Zinc Bromide 

Formula: ZnBr2

Density: 2.3-2.5 SG

Zinc Bromide Content: 75%

CAS Number: 7699-45-8

Molecular Weight: 225.2

Crystallization Point:  -6.66°C

General info and Field of Use:

Zinc Bromide 75% is used in electrolytes for ZnBr2 rechargeable batteries. It is used as the supply of zinc and bromine for charging the battery. The energy content of ZnBr2 batteries is high due to the high energetic bromine and its potent reactivity with the zinc metal.
