SANIBROM 40 Biocides are 40% solutions of sodium bromide in water.

Cesium iodide is a highest purity product particularly used for scintillation purposes, e.g. in medical imaging.

Versatile reducing agent for organic chemical and phamaceutical industry.

Mainly as corrosion inhibitor.

Alkylating and metalating agent, without formation of gaseous by-products. Initiator for olefin polymerization.

The use of a 'ready-made' dibutyl ether solution avoids the handling of the very hygroscopic and dusty ZnBr₂ and LiBr powder.

The ZnBr₂/LiBr dibutyl ether solution was developed mainly for the application in organic synthesis, e.g.:

Cesium acetate is useful in organic synthesis. Yields in a Perkin reaction are for example 2- to 9-fold higher as compared to the classic sodium acetate route: E. Koepp, F. Vögtle; Synthesis (1987) 177.

Cesium aluminum fluoride is used as a flux for brazing aluminum alloys rich in magnesium and as a heterogeneous catalyst in organic reactions.

Operating medium for air-conditioning and air or gas-drying equipment.

Reduction of acid chlorides to aldehydes. Stereoselective reductions of carbocyclic and steroid ketones. Reduction of aldehydes and ketones, leaving unaffected halogen-, ester-, lactone, amide-, nitrile-, nitro- and/or epoxy-groups as well as carbon and carbon multiple bonds.
