Description
Lithium bromide (LiBr), also referred to as lithium monobromide or lithiumbromide, is an inorganic salt with CAS 7550-35-8 and EC 231-439-8. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified under HS code 28275900 within the salts and minerals category.
In pharmaceutical manufacturing, LiBr functions as a buffering agent and reaction catalyst, stabilising pH in sensitive formulations and accelerating specific synthesis steps. In water treatment, it acts as an antimicrobial additive, disrupting microbial cell function to control biological fouling in process water systems.
Lithium bromide is available in powder form to pharmaceutical-grade and technical-grade specifications, with compliance assessed against Ph.Eur. and REACH requirements where applicable. Procurement quantities range from laboratory-scale packaging to bulk industrial supply, and documentation including SDS and certificates of analysis is available upon request.
