Strontium Carbonate

Product Description

Strontium Carbonate is a white, odorless, fine powder composed of strontium, carbon, and oxygen. It is insoluble in water but soluble in acids, where it reacts to release carbon dioxide. This compound is widely used in ceramics, pyrotechnics, glass manufacturing, and metallurgy, as well as in chemical synthesis and analytical laboratories.

Strontium Carbonate serves as the primary source of strontium oxide in glass and ceramics, imparting brilliance, hardness, and improved resistance to thermal shock. It is also used in the production of strontium ferrites for permanent magnets and as a coloring agent for creating deep red hues in fireworks and signal flares.
