Sodium bromide powder
Leading manufacturer of bromides in China with annual capacity more than 20,000 tons.
Sodium Bromide (NaBr) is used to form clear-brine workover and completion fluid for densities ranging from 1007 to 1500 kg/m3. These fluids are used where formation waters contain high concentrations of bicarbonate and sulfate ions.Furthermore,it can be also used as biocides in water treatment and pools, additive of pharmaceutical industry etc.
