Calcium bromide Calcium bromide Calcium bromide is the name for compounds with the chemical formula CaBr(HO). Individual compounds include the anhydrous material (x = 0), the hexahydrate (x = 6), and the rare dihydrate (x = 2). All are white powders that dissolve in water, and from these solutions crystallizes the hexahydrate. The hydrated form is mainly used in some drilling fluids. It is produced by the reaction of calcium oxide, calcium carbonate with hydrobromic acid or the reaction of calcium metal with elemental bromine. It adopts the rutile structure, featuring octahedral Ca centres bound to six bromide anions, which also bridge
