China and the United States are the leading exporters of sodium bromate, collectively accounting for the majority of global shipments, while India, South Korea, and Germany represent the largest importers. Sodium bromate prices have remained relatively stable amid modest volume fluctuations across key markets. Export volumes from China have edged upward since 2022, while U.S. exports have held steady, and Indian imports have grown consistently—reflecting sustained industrial demand in pharmaceutical and analytical reagent applications.
Sodium bromate is a white, crystalline, odorless solid that is highly soluble in water and non-volatile; it decomposes before melting, typically above 381 °C. It is an inorganic bromate salt and a strong oxidizing agent. Sodium bromate is primarily used as an intermediate in the production of other bromine-containing compounds, including pharmaceuticals and analytical reagents. It finds application in the formulation of permanent-wave solutions for hair cosmetics and as a maturing agent in flour treatment, though its use in food-related applications is restricted in many jurisdictions.
The bromates of chief industrial interest are those of sodiumand potassium. Sodium bromate is used in mixtures withsodium bromide to extract gold from ore. It is also used as ananalytical reagent, as a cleaning agent for boilers, and as acomponent in hair-waving formulations. Potassiumbromate is used primarily as a conditioner for flour anddough; some of its nonfood uses include use as an oxidizingagent for analytic chemistry and as a brominating agent.The bromates of calcium and barium have limited use asoxidizers, maturing agents in flour, and analytic reagents.
White crystals or powder; odorless. Soluble in water;insoluble in alcohol.
