Product overview
Potassium Bromide is a water-soluble inorganic bromide supplied by Kranti Chemicals as a white crystalline powder or granules. High-purity grades are widely used in infrared spectroscopy, where KBr's transparency across the near-UV to long-wave IR range makes it the standard matrix for sample pellets and optical windows.
Beyond optics, it remains a source of bromide ion for photographic, veterinary and general industrial chemistry applications.
Applications
