Chemical Name: Aluminum Tribromide Anhydrous
Synonyms: Aluminium bromide, Aluminium tribromide
Formula: AlBr3
Appearance: White to pale yellow solid, fuming in moist air
Odor: Pungent, acrid
Serious Health Hazard: Strongly corrosive, destroys tissue on contact
Environmental Danger: Can do real damage to aquatic life if released
Reactivity: Violently reacts with water, releases toxic hydrogen bromide gas
Fire Risk: Reacts with combustibles, releases toxic fumes
Ingredient: Aluminum Tribromide
Chemical Formula: AlBr3
Purity: Typically above 99% in laboratory settings
Eye Contact: Flush thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes, seek emergency care
Skin Contact: Rinse off immediately with plenty of water, strip contaminated clothing, get medical attention
Inhalation: Move to fresh air right away, keep the person warm, medical care needed for breathing difficulty
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting, rinse mouth, seek medical help immediately
Extinguishing Media: Use dry sand, dry chemical or lime—never water
Hazards: Hydrogen bromide and bromine vapors given off in fire make breathing difficult and threaten rescuers
Protective Equipment: Wear full protective fire gear and self-contained breathing apparatus
Personal Protection: Gas-tight goggles, chemical suit, gloves, and respirator should be worn
Spill Clean-up: Scoop and collect with dry inert absorbent material. Ventilate area. Immediate cleanup prevents damage
Avoid: Water, as it intensifies hazard
Disposal: Treat and neutralize by professionals only
Handling: Only handle in chemical fume hood, away from any moisture sources
Personal Safety: Goggles, heavy gloves, and lab coat at minimum
Other Compounds: Keep away from acids, oxidizers, and combustibles
Storage: Air-tight, corrosion-resistant containers, stored cool and dry, well isolated from water sources
Engineering Controls: Use fume hood and ensure good airflow
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical goggles, gloves, face shield, rubber apron recommended
Respiratory Protection: Properly-fitted respirator for airborne dusts or vapors
Hygiene: Wash hands and face after handling, do not eat or drink nearby
Physical State: Solid at room temperature
Melting Point: About 97.5°C
Boiling Point: Roughly 255°C (decomposes)
Density: Near 3.2 g/cm3
Solubility: Reacts violently with water
Vapor Pressure: Noticeable at ambient conditions
Stability: Stable when kept dry and cool
Incompatible Materials: Water, moist air, oxidizers, strong bases
Hazardous Reactions: Violent, dangerous chemical burns or toxic gases possible on contact with moisture or organics
Decomposition: Produces toxic hydrogen bromide and bromine
Inhalation: Causes coughing, shortness of breath, burns to respiratory tract
Skin Contact: Serious burns and ulceration on exposure
Eye Contact: Can cause blindness, severe burns
Chronic Effects: Repeated exposure leads to tissue destruction, respiratory problems
Acutely Toxic: Ingestion may lead to corrosive injury of mouth, throat, and stomach
Aquatic Impact: Aluminum tribromide harms fish and water organisms
Persistence: Doubts about breakdown in waterways—persistent if not neutralized
Environmental Mobility: Spills need real care; do not wash down drains
Neutralization: Only trained professionals should neutralize before discarding
Hazardous Waste: Collect and send to licensed hazardous waste facilities
Regulations: Comply with local chemical disposal requirements
Containment: Do not mix with general waste or water streams
Class: Strongly corrosive, regulated substance
Packaging: Leak-proof, moisture-proof containers, sealed and labeled
Precautions: Vehicles must be ventilated, transporters trained to respond to spills
Labeling: Clearly identified as corrosive, with hazard pictograms
Restrictions: Use only by qualified personnel with suitable training
Reporting: Any spill or release may trigger notification to environmental or safety agencies
