Overview of Bromine
Bromine is a dense, reddish-brown liquid at room temperature with a strong, characteristic odor, widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications. As a highly reactive halogen, Bromine serves as a precursor for flame retardants, agrochemicals, dyes, and specialty chemicals. Its chemical versatility and reactivity make it essential in both laboratory and industrial-scale processes.
In industrial applications, Bromine is valued for its high purity, controlled reactivity, and consistent performance. It is often used alongside Chlorine, Iodine, Sodium Hypochlorite, and Hydrogen Peroxide available on ChemicalBull, providing a complete solution for chemical synthesis, water treatment, and specialty industrial processes.
