BARIUM CHLORIDE AR (dihydrate) is a product provided by Research-Lab Fine Chem Industries. Laboratory reagents are chemicals which are used in laboratories as a part of experimental procedures. These reagents can be important parts of chemical reactions, analytical reagents or starting material for the production of other materials.

This BARIUM CHLORIDE is a dihydrate and is of analytical grade. It is soluble in water, methanol, and insoluble in ethanol, ethyl acetate. Barium chloride can be generated from barium hydroxide or barium carbonate. Barium chloride has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. It is majorly used as a test for the sulphate ion in chemical analysis. Industrially, barium chloride is mostly used in the purification of brine solution in caustic chlorine plants. It additionally finds applications in the manufacture of heat treatment salts, case hardening of steel, in the manufacture of pigments, and in the manufacture of other barium salts. Barium chloride is also incorporated in fireworks to give a bright green color.
