Calcium Bromide 52% Solution

Product Description

RFC INDUSTRIES- Calcium Bromide 52% Solution also known as brine is a clear liquid with a density of 1.7 grams per liter at a temperature of 20 to 25 degrees Celsius. This chemical solution has a pH value of 7 with a maximum crystallization point of -7 degrees Celsius. It has a chemical formula of CaBr2 with an average molar mass nearly equals to 199.9 grams per mol. Calcium Bromide 52% Solution can be used in various applications such as photography, food preservation, fire extinguishing, as an oxidizer for mercury emission control, and as drilling fluids.

Calcium bromide (CaBr2) is a chemical compound composed of calcium and bromine. It is a white crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water. Like sodium bromide, calcium bromide also finds applications in various industries:

Oil and Gas Industry: Calcium bromide is primarily used as a completion and workover fluid in the oil and gas industry. It is often employed as a dense, clear brine fluid in drilling and completion operations, especially in high-density drilling fluids for well completion and workover.

Chemical Industry: Calcium bromide serves as a source of bromide ions in various chemical reactions and processes. It is utilized in the synthesis of other bromine compounds and in organic synthesis.

Medicine: Historically, calcium bromide was used as a sedative and anticonvulsant in medicine. However, its medical use has significantly declined due to its toxicity and the availability of safer alternatives.

Food Industry: In some cases, calcium bromide is used as a food additive, although its use is relatively limited compared to other bromine compounds.

Water Treatment: Calcium bromide can be used as a disinfectant in water treatment processes, particularly in industrial water treatment systems. It helps control microbial growth and algae in water systems.

Fire Retardants: Bromine compounds, including calcium bromide, are used in fire retardants, although calcium bromide is not as commonly employed for this purpose as other bromine compounds like brominated flame retardants.

Calcium bromide, like other bromine compounds, should be handled with caution due to its toxicity. Proper safety precautions should be taken when using or handling this compound.
