Strontium chloride
What is Strontium chloride?
Strontium chloride (CAS 10476-85-4) is an inorganic salt supplied primarily for its strontium ion content.
Where is Strontium chloride used?
- Pyrotechnics and signal flares: crimson-red flame colorant
- Batteries: electrolyte additive or precursor in strontium-based electrode materials
- Catalyst preparation: precursor to strontium oxide and mixed-metal oxide systems
- Pharmaceutical and specialty chemical production: pH buffer and ionic medium in select synthesis and formulation processes
- It functions as a strontium source where controlled ion delivery, flame coloration, or precursor chemistry is required.
Commercial specifications
- Purity typically 98% to 99%+
- Bulk bags and fiber drums
