Bromine 99,7 – 99,9% [7726-95-6]
Bromine is used in many reactions, e.g. for the synthesis of alkyl bromides, which are more reactive than the corresponding chlorides. Silver bromide has been used extensively in lithographic and photographic techniques.

Hazard pictograms

Labeling of hazardous chemicals and mixtures that are part of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). The pictograms recommended by GHS have the shape of a square set on the top. They should contain a black symbol on a white background with a red border.

Priority rules to be observed in connection with the labeling of a substance:

– the skull and crossbones, the exclamation mark pictogram should not be added.
– corrosive effect, the exclamation mark pictogram should not be added if it concerns eye or skin irritation.
– health hazard determining respiratory sensitization, the exclamation mark pictogram should not be added if it concerns skin sensitization or irritation to eyes or skin.
