Typical values. The certificate of analysis and specification sheet issued for your lot are the reference for density, concentration and clarity.
Why choose the liquid form
- Ready to use. No dissolving, no heat of solution, no dust.
- Consistent density. Concentration is stated on the certificate for every lot.
- A base brine. Blend with calcium chloride or zinc bromide brines to reach higher or intermediate densities.
- Fast turnaround. Load straight into a mixing tank or pit.
Density and units: 1 lb/gal = 0.1198 g/cm³, so 14.2 ppg ≈ 1.70 g/cm³. Dilute with fresh water to go lower; blend with a heavier brine to go higher.
Handling and storage
- Store in sealed, clean containers to avoid evaporation and contamination.
- Keep the brine above the crystallisation temperature stated on the lot certificate.
- Use compatible materials and corrosion inhibitors where metals are exposed.
- Wear gloves, eye protection and protective clothing; see the safety data sheet.
Frequently asked questions
What density is 52% calcium bromide?
About 1.70 g/cm³ at 20 °C, which is 14.2 lb/gal (ppg).
Can I blend it with calcium chloride or zinc bromide brine?
Yes. CaBr₂ is routinely blended with CaCl₂ and ZnBr₂ brines to build two- and three-salt systems. See the clear brine fluids page.
How do I order samples or a first load?
Send the form with product, quantity and destination. We reply with packing options, delivery terms and lead time.
Do you supply a safety data sheet?
Yes, a safety data sheet and technical data sheet are available with every quote.
