Strontium chloride by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. Also known as Strontium (II) chloride, this is a salt of strontium and chloride. The reagent is available as a white powder which is soluble in water. It has a melting point of 61 C and a boiling point of 1250 C. Strontium chloride can be generated by treating strontium hydroxide or strontium carbonate with hydrochloric acid. While it is stable under general conditions, this reagent is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. CAS No.: 10025-70-4 Quantity Provided: 500 gm per bottle Molecular formula: SrCl2.6H2O Molecular weight: 266.62 Assay: 98 Strontium chloride has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. Strontium carbonate is widely used as an inexpensive colorant in fireworks. Strontium chloride can be used to produce yellow strontium chromate, which is used as a corrosion inhibitor for aluminum. It is additionally used as a red coloring agent in pyrotechnics. It is further used in small quantities in glass-making and metallurgy. It is used to administer radioactive isotope strontium-89, which is used for the treatment of bone cancer. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
