Sodium Bromide (Photo Grade)

Sodium Bromide (Photo Grade) – High Purity for Industrial and Photographic Use

Sodium Bromide (Photo Grade) is a high-purity chemical used in industries like photography, water treatment, and oil drilling. It dissolves easily in water and stays stable during use. It’s especially useful in photographic processing and chemical manufacturing where low impurities are important.

We supply Sodium Bromide (Photo Grade) across Australia. Many businesses choose it because it’s consistent and reliable for demanding industrial tasks.

What Is Sodium Bromide (Photo Grade)?

Sodium Bromide (NaBr) is a simple salt. It looks like a white powder or small crystals. There’s no smell. It mixes well with water and has a neutral or slightly alkaline pH (around 6.5 to 8.5 in a 1% solution). “Photo Grade” means it’s very pure, making it suitable for sensitive work like photographic emulsions and specialty chemicals.

Its CAS Number is 7647-15-6. People use it when they need a clean, stable chemical with very low contamination.

Common Uses

You’ll find Sodium Bromide (Photo Grade) in:

• Photography: Used in developers and emulsions to help with image quality.

• Oil and Gas: Works as a dense fluid to help control pressure and limit corrosion during drilling.

• Water Treatment: Used in some water cleaning systems.

• Chemical Manufacturing: Helps make certain organic chemicals and medicines.

It’s often chosen because it helps protect equipment from rust and keeps processes running smoothly.
