· JVASP-127728· CdBr

Cadmium bromide (CdBr) is an inorganic ceramic compound composed of cadmium and bromine elements. This material belongs to the halide ceramic family and is primarily of research and specialized industrial interest rather than a mainstream engineering material. CdBr finds application in optics and radiation detection systems where its crystalline properties are leveraged, though its use is limited by cadmium's toxicity concerns and regulatory restrictions in many jurisdictions; engineers typically evaluate it only when specific optical or scintillation properties are required and alternative non-toxic compounds cannot meet performance requirements.

Regulatory Screening

Environmental

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.
