Description

Carbon tetrabromide is widely utilized as a solvent for greases, waxes and oils. In Appel reaction, it is used to convert alcohols to alkyl bromides. It has the property of non-flammability and finds application in fire-resistant chemicals as an active ingredient. It is also used for separating minerals. It can serves as an intermediate in manufacturing agrochemicals. It plays a vital role in the plastic and rubber industries for blowing and vulcanization.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand.
