Ethylene Dibromide

Ethylene Bromide, sometimes referred to as Ethane Dibromide, 1,2-Dibromoethane, Glycol Dibromide, or EDB, is a colorless, non-flammable liquid with a sweet odor and a molecular formula of C₂H₄Br₂. It is recognized as a toxic chemical compound, and appropriate precautions must be in place when handling it.

Our Ethylene Dibromide product is primarily used as a pesticide and soil fumigant in agriculture, mostly for grains and fruit. It also has many other applications in the agricultural space, such as pharmaceutical uses, dyes, insecticides, and fuel additives in gasoline. Ethylene Dibromide is made from the reaction of ethylene with bromine to ensure consistency and purity.

Despite being an effective chemical for industrial or agricultural purposes, Ethylene Bromide is poisonous to humans and animals. Extended exposure can irritate the eyes and skin and even cause damage to internal organs, which may include the liver, kidneys, adrenal glands, or lungs. Because of this, proper safety measures and professional experience are needed to handle Ethylene Bromide.
