· JVASP-5500· OsBr4

Osmium tetrabromide (OsBr₄) is a transition metal halide ceramic compound composed of osmium and bromine. This material is primarily encountered in research and specialized laboratory contexts rather than established industrial production, as it belongs to the rare and expensive osmium compound family. OsBr₄ is notable for its potential applications in catalysis, materials chemistry research, and high-density ceramic systems, though practical engineering adoption remains limited due to osmium's scarcity, cost, and the compound's corrosive and toxic handling 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.
