Bromoform is widely used as a solvent for waxes, oils and greases. It is utilized for mineral ore separation in geological tests. It is used as an intermediate in chemical synthesis as well as a laboratory reagent. It is the ingredient of fire-resistant chemicals and fluid gauges. It acts as a sedative and as cough reducing agent.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
