You could always call it hydrazinium bromide :-) A rose is a rose is a
rose! What about the fire hazard instructions: don't you have to say it
gives off N2H4 and HBr fumes at c. 180°C?

To think of the years when I hand-soldered with such an activator in a
rosin-cored solder wire - and this was before anyone thought that
ventilation was required. :-( Do you think I can start a class action
suit against the manufacturers for my prostate cancer?
