Sodium Bromide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula NaBr. It is a high-melting white, crystalline solid that resembles sodium chloride. It is a widely used source of the bromide ion and has many applications. Sodium Bromide is the most useful inorganic bromide in industry. It is also used as a catalyst in oxidation reactions. Used as a disinfectant for hot tubs and swimming pools (in conjunction with chlorine). In Petroleum industry it is used to prepare dense drilling fluids used in oil wells because of its high solubility in water. Sodium Bromide is widely used for the preparation of other bromides in organic synthesis and other areas. Please click here to view our delivery information and costs.
Uses and applications
Sodium bromide (NaBr) is a white, water-soluble crystalline salt that supplies the bromide ion for water treatment, oilfield and chemical synthesis work.
- Hot tubs, spas and swimming pools — a bromide salt that is activated by an oxidiser such as chlorine to form the bromine sanitiser. See our commercial pool and spa chemicals and our spa chemicals guide for operators
- Oil and gas — used to prepare dense drilling fluids, thanks to its high solubility in water
- Chemical synthesis — a starting material for other bromide compounds and a source of bromide in oxidation reactions

Frequently asked questions
What is sodium bromide used for in hot tubs and spas?
It is a bromide salt used with an oxidiser such as chlorine, which converts it into the bromine that does the sanitising. Many spa and hot tub systems run on bromine because it is more stable at spa temperatures.
Can I buy sodium bromide in bulk?
Yes. It is supplied in 25kg bags with tiered quantity pricing shown on this page, delivered by pallet to trade premises across mainland England, Wales and Scotland. See our delivery information for details.
What is the CAS number for sodium bromide?
Sodium bromide has the formula NaBr and the CAS registry number 7647-15-6.
