Zinc bromide is a high-density inorganic salt with strong water solubility and excellent chemical stability. It is widely used in petroleum exploitation as main raw material for high-density clear completion fluid and workover fluid, which can effectively stabilize wellbore wall, control formation pressure and reduce mining risks in deep well and ultra-deep well operation. In chemical industry, it acts as efficient catalyst and dehydrating agent for organic synthesis reactions, promoting condensation and substitution reactions smoothly. It is also applied in electroplating industry as additive for galvanizing solution to improve coating uniformity and adhesion. In medical field, it can be used to prepare sedative preparations and pharmaceutical intermediates. Besides, it serves as radiation shielding material, analytical chemical reagent and wood preservative. With outstanding physical and chemical characteristics, it has become an essential raw material widely used in oilfield chemical, fine chemical, electroplating and pharmaceutical industries.

Zinc bromide is an irritant chemical with certain corrosive property, which needs strict protection during operation. Inhalation of dust will severely irritate respiratory tract, cause sore throat, cough and chest tightness, long-term inhalation will damage respiratory mucosa, so operators must wear dust-proof mask and keep working space fully ventilated. Skin contact will cause obvious redness, itching and burning sensation, long-term contact will lead to skin erosion and inflammation, wear acid-resistant gloves and wash exposed skin with plenty of clean water immediately after contact. Eye contact will cause severe stinging pain and conjunctival injury, once splashed into eyes, continuously rinse with flowing water for more than fifteen minutes and seek medical treatment in time. Accidental ingestion will induce severe nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain, which will damage digestive tract organs. This product is highly deliquescent, easy to deteriorate when exposed to humid air. Keep away from strong acids, oxidants and daily food during storage. All waste residues shall be disposed in accordance with hazardous chemical treatment standards to avoid personal injury and environmental pollution.
