· NaBr

Sodium bromide (NaBr) is an ionic ceramic salt with a cubic rock-salt crystal structure, belonging to the halide family of inorganic compounds. It is primarily used in pharmaceutical synthesis, analytical chemistry, and photographic applications, where its optical transparency and chemical stability are valued. In engineering contexts, NaBr serves as a component in specialized windows and lenses for infrared spectroscopy, as well as in drilling fluid formulations for oil and gas operations where its high density and brine compatibility provide density and corrosion resistance.

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.
