Bromide Ion American Elements is a manufacturer and supplier specializing in the bromide form of most metallic elements including Cerium, Lanthanum, Erbium, Ytterbium, Neodymium, Yttrium and other rare earth elements, Gallium, Hafnium, Scandium, Niobium, Indium, Ruthenium, Zirconium, transition metals such as Copper, Nickel, Tin and Cobalt and precious metals such as Gold, Silver, Platinum and Palladium as well as other advanced elements. These bromide compounds are available as both powders and solutions and marketed under the trademark AE Bromides™.

The bromide form of any metal is generally soluble in water. Bromides are often used when the chloride or nitrate form is hazardous. This has become increasingly the case with the advent of new green chemistry and hazardous materials legislation such as the new REACH program in the European Union. For example, bromides are now being used in many catalytic, electronic, coating and biomedical applications in replacement of other soluble forms for this reason.

Bromide compounds are formed when a metallic cation binds with a charged (- 1) bromine (Br) anion to form a bromide salt of that metal. Bromine is the only liquid halogen. Bromides were first prepared and used as sedatives which is why a "tired" expression or saying is sometimes called a bromide.

Purities include 99%, 99.9%, 99.99%, 99.999% and 99.9999% which are sometimes referred to as 2N, 3N, 4N, 5N and 6N. These products are also available in an ultra dry form.

Physical properties may include nanopowder, nano particle, submicron, - 325 mesh, rod, foil, and high surface area bromide with particle distribution and particle size controlled and certified. We produce larger - 40 mesh, - 100 mesh, -200 mesh range sizes and < 0.5 mm, 2 mm, 5 mm and other mm size shot, granules, lump, flake and pieces, too.

American Elements maintains industrial scale production for all its bromide products.

American Elements will execute Non-Disclosure or Confidentiality Agreements to protect customer know-how.
