Zinc bromide

Zinc bromide (CAS 7699-45-8 ), commonly abbreviated as ZnBr2, is an inorganic salt sourced for its utility as a catalyst, electrolyte component, and high-density completion fluid across industrial and specialty chemical markets. Buyers in pharmaceuticals, oil field services, and specialty synthesis recognize it as a distinct procurement item from other zinc halides. In oil and gas well completion, ZnBr2 solutions are formulated into high-density clear brine fluids. These fluids are used to control wellbore pressure without solids. Pharmaceutical manufacturers use it as a precursor or reagent in active ingredient synthesis where a soluble zinc salt is required for specific chemical reactions. In organic synthesis and catalysis, it acts as a Lewis acid catalyst for Friedel-Crafts reactions and other electrophilic processes. Personal care and biocide formulators also incorporate it for preservation and surface-active functions. These functions are essential in specific antimicrobial formulations. Zinc bromide is supplied as a white crystalline powder or as concentrated aqueous solution, with solution concentrations typically ranging to meet oilfield brine density specifications. Standard grades include technical and pharmaceutical-grade material, with the latter conforming to USP or BP specifications. Packaging options range from laboratory quantities to bulk industrial supply depending on the application grade. Contact us for supply of Zinc bromide Request Quote
