Applications

Sodium bromide is a versatile compound with a wide range of applications across several industries. Some of its key uses include:

Photographic Films

  • Sodium bromide plays a pivotal role in the photographic industry. It is used in the production of silver bromide (AgBr), which is a light-sensitive compound crucial for photographic films and papers.

Pharmaceuticals

  • Sodium bromide is used in the pharmaceutical industry primarily for its sedative and anticonvulsant properties. Although its use has decreased with the availability of newer drugs, it remains a part of certain formulations.

Fragrances and Flavors

  • In the fragrance and flavor industries, sodium bromide is used as a brominating agent to modify the structure of organic compounds, enhancing their aromatic or flavoring properties.

Dye Industry

  • Sodium bromide is also employed in the production of certain dyes, especially in the preparation of brominated organic intermediates used in dye synthesis.

Storage and Packaging

  • Storage Conditions: Stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
