HYDROGEN BROMIDE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics
Hydrogen bromide (HBr) is a colorless gas with a sharp, pungent odor, highly soluble in water to form hydrobromic acid. It is used in various industrial processes, including the production of bromine-containing compounds, organic synthesis, and as a catalyst in chemical reactions. Hydrogen bromide is also employed in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and flame retardants. Despite its utility, HBr poses significant health hazards, including severe respiratory, skin, and eye irritation. Proper handling, storage, and the use of personal protective equipment are essential to ensure safety when working with this corrosive gas. Adequate ventilation and spill containment measures are also necessary to prevent exposure.
