Zinc Bromide 99%

Zinc Bromide 99% is a high-purity inorganic compound with the chemical formula ZnBr₂, typically available as a white, crystalline solid or granular material. It is highly hygroscopic and deliquescent, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the atmosphere and can dissolve in the absorbed water to form a concentrated solution.

This compound is highly soluble in water, alcohol, and ether, producing clear, colorless solutions. Zinc bromide exhibits strong Lewis acid properties and is widely used in organic synthesis, as a catalyst, and in chemical processing.

Due to its high density and solubility, zinc bromide is commonly used in oil and gas well completion fluids where it serves as a clear brine fluid. It is also utilized in photography, pharmaceuticals, and battery applications.

Zinc bromide is chemically stable under normal conditions but should be protected from moisture and stored in tightly sealed containers. It can be corrosive and irritating to skin and eyes, so appropriate safety precautions should be followed during handling.
