Potassium Bromide Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- KBr
Potassium bromide is supplied as a crystalline bromide salt for Malaysian oilfield, laboratory, optical and industrial enquiries. Buyers seeking a Potassium bromide supplier Malaysia can specify technical, brine, reagent or spectroscopy grades against the assay, moisture and impurity controls their process requires.
Identified by the formula KBr and CAS 7758-02-3, Potassium bromide is a white crystalline solid that dissolves readily in water. Commercial forms include powder, granules and controlled crystal grades, with moisture protection especially important for spectroscopy and optical work.
Oil and gas programmes use KBr in clear completion and workover brines, while laboratories use it in analytical methods and infrared spectroscopy pellets. Chemical manufacturers and photographic processes also use Potassium bromide where the salt and its specified purity are required.
Send the required grade, assay, moisture and impurity limits, physical form, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation for the selected Potassium bromide requirement.

Potassium Bromide applications
Common questions about Potassium bromide
Are Potassium bromide and KBr the same product?
Yes. KBr is the molecular formula and common abbreviation for Potassium bromide. The grade must still be stated because technical, oilfield, reagent and spectroscopy materials use different purity, moisture and physical specifications.
Is Potassium bromide the same as sodium bromide or calcium bromide?
No. They are separate bromide salts with different cations, formulae and solution properties. Oilfield and industrial buyers should use the exact salt named in the fluid or process specification.
How is Potassium bromide used in completion brines?
Potassium bromide is dissolved as part of clear completion or workover fluid systems designed to a target composition and density. State the required solid grade or finished-brine specification; this page does not assume one universal concentration.
Which Potassium bromide grade is used for infrared spectroscopy?
Spectroscopy work uses a high-purity, low-moisture KBr grade suitable for pellet preparation or the specified optical format. Provide moisture, impurity, particle and transmission criteria from the laboratory method.
What specifications should accompany a Potassium bromide enquiry?
Include the assay, moisture, chloride and other halide limits, trace-metal criteria, particle form and intended application. A current purchasing or method specification helps distinguish technical, oilfield and optical grades.
Can a prepared Potassium bromide solution be requested?
A prepared brine is a separate formulation requirement. State the target composition, density basis, water-quality controls, quantity and receiving arrangement so it can be assessed independently from dry KBr crystals.
What packing and documents can be requested for Potassium bromide?
Packing and available product, safety or batch documentation are confirmed for the quoted grade. Include moisture-protection needs, test methods and any oilfield, laboratory or optical document requirements.
What details are needed for a Potassium bromide price quotation?
Send the grade, assay and impurity specification, form, quantity, application and delivery location. Availability, price and quotation validity are then confirmed for the defined KBr requirement.
