· Ag1 Br1

Silver bromide (AgBr) is an ionic semiconductor compound belonging to the silver halide family, characterized by its wide bandgap and photosensitive properties. Historically the dominant material for photographic film and plates, AgBr remains in use for specialized optical and imaging applications where its sensitivity to visible and near-infrared light is valuable. It has largely been superseded by digital sensors for consumer photography but retains importance in niche applications including infrared detectors, scientific instrumentation, and specialized imaging systems where its unique optical properties or material stability offer advantages over alternatives.

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
