Calcium Bromide

Product Description

Calcium Bromide is a high purity industrial chemical with a pH level of 6.0 and a purity of 98%. It is available in a powder form and can be stored at room temperature. This product is commonly used in various industrial applications due to its excellent chemical properties. It is widely used in the oil and gas industry as a completion fluid in oil and gas wells. Calcium Bromide is also used in pharmaceuticals, fire retardants, and photographic chemicals. This versatile compound is non-toxic, non-corrosive, and highly soluble in water. Its unique chemical properties make it an ideal choice for many industrial applications.

Calcium bromide is the name for compounds with the chemical formula CaBr2(H2O)x. Individual compounds include the anhydrous material (x = 0), the hexahydrate (x = 6), and the rare dihydrate (x = 2). All are white powders that dissolve in water, and from these solutions crystallizes the hexahydrate. The hydrated form is mainly used in some drilling fluids.

Appearance: Typically a white crystalline powder or granules in its solid form. In solution, it appears as a clear liquid.

Solubility: Highly soluble in water, forming a clear solution.

Hygroscopicity: It is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture from the air.

Drilling Fluids: Calcium bromide is commonly used in the oil and gas industry as a component of drilling fluids and completion fluids. Its high density helps to control pressure and improve the efficiency of drilling operations.

Purification: Used in water treatment processes to manage and adjust the ionic composition of water.
