Sodium Bromide

Sodium Bromide (NaBr) | Industrial & Pharmaceutical Grade Bulk Supply:
Sodium Bromide (NaBr) is an inorganic compound manufactured via the neutralization of hydrobromic acid with sodium hydroxide, followed by crystallization or solution concentration. It functions as a versatile source of bromide ions utilized in heavy-density completion fluids, chemical intermediate synthesis, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Available in crystalline powder and aqueous solution formats, our production lines yield consistent assay purity and controlled impurity profiles designed to meet industrial-scale operational demands.

Product Specifications：

Chemical & Physical Properties：
CAS Number: 7647-15-6
Molecular Formula: NaBr
Molecular Weight: 102.89 g/mol
Melting Point: 747 °C
Boiling Point: 1,390 °C
Density: 3.21 g/cm3 (at 25 °C)
Solubility: Highly soluble in water (94.6 g/100 mL at 20 °C); moderately soluble in alcohol.
Stability: Stable under standard industrial handling and storage conditions. Hygroscopic nature requires moisture-barrier containment.

Applications：
Oil & Gas Extraction: Compounded with sodium chloride or calcium bromide to formulate clear-brine completion and workover fluids ranging from 8.4 to 12.5 ppg, minimizing formation damage during downhole operations.
Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Acts as a brominating agent in organic synthesis and a raw material for manufacturing central nervous system depressants.
Water Treatment: Used alongside chlorine as an effective biocide for industrial cooling towers and closed-loop systems, generating hypobromite ions for bio-film control.
Flame Retardants & Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a precursor for the production of alkyl bromides and various bromine-based flame retardant formulations.

Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Relevance：
Pharmaceutical-grade sodium bromide complies with United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and British Pharmacopeia (BP) monographs. Production occurs in dedicated clean-zone crystallization units to control microbial load and elemental impurity levels according to ICH Q3D guidelines. Strict limits on residual solvents, heavy metals, and chloride homologues prevent side reactions during active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) synthesis, ensuring predictable yield and regulatory compliance for finished drug formulations.

Grade & Quality Requirements：
Industrial Crystal Grade: Standard grade optimized for oilfield brines and general chemical processing.
High-Purity Industrial Grade: Controlled iron and sulfate levels designed for sensitive catalytic reactions.
Pharmaceutical USP/BP Grade: Manufactured under strict quality management protocols, supplied with full traceability documentation.

Quality Control：
Every production batch undergoes multi-stage analytical testing prior to release. Assays are verified using potentiometric titration and ion chromatography (IC) to measure bromide purity and trace chloride content. Heavy metal concentrations are quantified via Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). Retained samples from every lot are archived for three years to ensure complete traceability.
