Market Overview

When bromine, a volatile substance, evaporates quickly at room temperature, it produces a red vapour. It has nearly three times the density of water. When bromine comes into contact with flesh, it becomes corrosive and can burn it. It is also soluble in organic solvents and has a low boiling point. This type of technology is increasingly being used in the workplace and at home. It is primarily used in the production of flame retardants, which are substances added to furniture, plastics, and fabrics to reduce the risk of fire. Bromine is a chemical that is used to make a variety of products, including medications, water treatment products, and agricultural chemicals. These compounds are commonly used in the production of fuel additives, in addition to being used as a catalyst in chemical reactions.
