Description

Hydrobromic Acid >33% In Acetic Acid is a specialized reagent-grade solution combining a strong mineral acid with a versatile organic solvent. This formulation is critical for chemical synthesis where anhydrous conditions and specific solvation properties are required, offering a powerful brominating agent in a non-aqueous medium. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries engaged in alkylation, esterification, and catalysis processes.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate Synthesis: Used as a bromination and catalyst reagent in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) under controlled, anhydrous conditions.
• Agrochemical Manufacturing: Employed in the synthesis of herbicides, pesticides, and other crop protection agents requiring specific bromo-organic compounds.
• Fine Chemical Production: Serves as a key reagent for alkylation and esterification reactions in the manufacture of dyes, fragrances, and specialty polymers.
• Catalysis & Chemical Research: Acts as an acid catalyst in organic synthesis and is a valuable tool in laboratory-scale research and process development.
• Petrochemical Processing: Utilized in certain alkylation processes within refineries and for the synthesis of oilfield chemicals.

Quality Control

Our Hydrobromic Acid >33% In Acetic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay, impurity profiling, and solvent content verification, to ensure it meets precise specifications for synthesis-grade applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, concentration, and key physical parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical processes.

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, amines, and oxidizing agents. Due to its nature as a strong acid/organic solvent, containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture and release of vapors. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
