Zinc Bromide/Calcium Bromide (ZnBr2/CaBr2) Brine requires high-density fluids and can be blended with lower density brines for specific density and crystallization point applications. Zinc Bromide/Calcium Bromide Brine, often referred to as zinc bromide, is available weighing 19.2 lb/gal (2,301 kg/m3) and is 54.5% Zinc bromide and 19.5% Calcium bromide.

Use and Application
Packaging and Storage
Zinc Bromide/Calcium Bromide brine is packaged in bulk liquid quantities. Store in appropriate corrosion- resistant brine containers and keep closed and firmly sealed. It is a concentrated hygroscopic salt solution which will absorb water from the air, reducing density if not properly stored
