Barium chloride dihydrate

Barium chloride dihydrate (CAS 10326-27-9), also known as Baryta Muriatica or BaCl2·2H2O, is an inorganic barium salt in hydrated crystalline form.

Where is Barium chloride dihydrate used?

• Water treatment: removes sulfate ions through precipitation, helping industrial facilities manage effluent composition and meet discharge standards
• Metallurgy and metal surface treatment: heat treatment salt baths for steel hardening, providing controlled thermal environments for case hardening
• Textile and leather processing: mordant and fixative in dyeing and finishing baths to improve color retention on fiber substrates
• Pulp and paper: process chemical for sulfate removal and catalyst precursor in select chemical synthesis workflows
• It also functions as a chemical intermediate, precipitating agent, and process additive.

Commercial specifications

• Purity typically 98% to 99%+
• Bags and drums for bulk industrial procurement
