Description

Hydrogen Bromide CAS NO 10035-10-6 is a highly reactive, corrosive gas that serves as a fundamental source of bromide ions and a potent acid catalyst. Its primary commercial value lies in its powerful reactivity, making it indispensable for alkylation, bromination, and as a precursor in the synthesis of a wide range of inorganic and organic bromine compounds. This essential chemical is critically needed by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical sectors, as well as in electronics for semiconductor etching and specialty chemical production.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: A key reagent and catalyst in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for alkylation and bromination reactions.
• Agrochemical Manufacturing: Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of bromine-containing pesticides, herbicides, and fumigants.
• Catalyst & Alkylation Agent: Employed in petroleum refining and organic synthesis as a strong acid catalyst for alkylation processes.
• Semiconductor Industry: Utilized in the etching and cleaning of silicon wafers and other semiconductor materials.
• Chemical Intermediate: A crucial precursor for manufacturing inorganic bromides (e.g., sodium bromide, potassium bromide) and organic bromine compounds.
• Laboratory & Research: Serves as a fundamental reagent in analytical chemistry and research-scale synthetic chemistry.

Quality Control

Our Hydrogen Bromide is produced and handled under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We offer various grades, including high-purity electronic and pharmaceutical grades, tailored to specific application requirements. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications and industry standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents. Due to its highly volatile and gaseous nature under standard conditions, cylinders must be secured upright and handled in accordance with all relevant safety regulations for pressurized corrosive gases. Storage temperature should be maintained at ambient conditions, avoiding excessive heat.
