Bromoform

Bromoform (CAS 75-25-2), also known as methyl tribromide, is a dense, halogenated solvent used in industrial processing and specialty chemical manufacturing.

Where is Bromoform used?

• Flame retardant intermediate: high bromine content
• Mineral and materials processing: heavy-medium separation agent
• Textile and leather processing: solvent and density separation medium for fiber and material grading
• Building and construction: flame retardant component whose bromine loading contributes to fire suppression in treated materials
• Pharmaceutical manufacturing: synthesis intermediate and, in controlled formulations, preservative or biocide active
• Paper production: foam control and processing solvent where halogenated media are specified

Commercial specifications

• Purity levels generally 99% or higher for industrial and synthesis applications
• Liquid, typically in drums or bulk containers suited to halogenated solvent handling requirements
