Sodium and bromide ions inorganic salts that occur naturally in seawater and other surface and underground waters used to manufacture sodium bromide. The sodium bromide supplied by us . is a concentrated and purified form of the naturally occurring inorganic salt. It is supplied as a dry powder or a concentrated aqueous solution for a number of applications in the energy sector. Sodium bromide is used in fluids for oil and gas extraction, as a mercury-removal treatment for coal-fired power plants, as a chemical intermediary and in water treatment applications.

Within the energy sector, sodium bromide is used as a component of drilling and completion fluids, which are used to maximize the productivity of an oil well, to minimize site erosion of the well and to aid in the shutdown of the well. Sodium bromide is also used as a component of fracturing fluids to aid in efficient recovery of natural gas from underground deep-rock formations.

Toxicity and Handling

Bioassay information is available upon request. Handle as an industrial chemical, wearing protective equipment and observing the precautions as described on the material safety data sheet (MSDS). Also observe the health hazard information and emergency and first aid procedures described on the MSDS.
