Technical Data
Strontium Carbonate (SrCO₃) is an industrial-grade, electron-grade white powder that serves as a vital raw material in multiple sectors, including electronics, ceramics, glassmaking, and pyrotechnics. With a purity range of 96% to 99.9%, this product offers exceptional reliability and versatility.
Strontium Carbonate shares many chemical properties with calcium carbonate. It is only slightly soluble in water and is more reactive in acidic solutions, releasing carbon dioxide. Due to its high density, high melting point, and unique atomic properties, it is ideal for radiation shielding in glass applications and as a red flame colorant in fireworks.
