Cadmium dibromide(CAS: 7789-42-6)

Cadmium dibromide (CAS: 7789-42-6) is a chemical compound with the formula CdBr₂. It is a white crystalline solid with a metallic luster. Cadmium dibromide is highly reactive and soluble in water.

Cadmium dibromide is primarily used as a flame retardant in plastics and rubbers. It is also used in the production of cadmium compounds and in some analytical techniques due to its reactivity.

Cadmium dibromide is considered hazardous and should be handled with caution. It is toxic and can cause skin irritation. Proper personal protective equipment (PPE) and safety measures should be followed when working with this compound.

Cadmium dibromide should be stored in a cool, dry place away from sources of heat and moisture. It should be kept in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption.
