Industrial Uses

1. Performance Chemicals

  • Analytical Chemistry: It serves as a reagent in titrimetric and spectrophotometric methods for analyzing reducing agents and organic compounds.

2. Fabric solutions

  • Textile Printing and Dyeing: It's used as an auxiliary agent to assist in the printing and dyeing processes of textiles.
  • Bleaching Agent: Sodium bromate acts as an oxidizing agent, which is crucial for removing unwanted color from fabrics.

3. Personal Care

  • Hair Care: Sodium bromate, along with potassium bromate, is used in hair wave preparations as an oxidizing agent or neutralizer.

4. Metal Treatment

  • Passivation: Sodium bromate is used in passivation processes, which create a protective layer on the surface of metals to prevent corrosion. This is often achieved through chemical treatments like non-chromate deoxidation, where sodium bromate can be used in conjunction with other chemicals like nitric acid.
  • Gold Extraction: Sodium bromate, in combination with sodium bromide, acts as a gold solvent, aiding in the extraction of gold from its ores.
  • Metal Finishing: It's also used as an oxidizing agent in various metal finishing applications, contributing to the desired surface properties.

5. Water Treatment

  • Boiler Cleaning: Sodium bromate is used in cleaning boilers due to its ability to oxidize and remove deposits and scale. 
  • Water Treatment: It acts as a disinfectant in water treatment processes, helping to eliminate harmful microorganisms.
