Strontium sulfate NEW

Strontium sulfate (SrSO4) is the sulfate counterpart of strontium, appearing as a white crystalline powder that occurs in nature in the form of the mineral lapis lazuli. It is very slightly soluble in water, the ratio is 8800:1, that is, 8800 volume of water can dissolve 1 volume of strontium sulfate, compared to more soluble in hydrochloric acid and nitric acid, slightly soluble in alkaline chlorides, such as sodium chloride.

Strontium sulfate is an organic compound with the formula SrSO₄, and its systematic name is the same with the product name. With the CAS registry number 7759-02-6, it is also named as Sulfuric acid,strontium salt (1:1). It belongs to the product categories of Inorganic Chemicals; Inorganics; Inorganic Salts; Salts; Strontium Salts; Strontium Metal and Ceramic Science; Synthetic Reagents. Its EINECS number is 231-850-2. In addition, the molecular weight is 183.68. You should not breathe dust. When using it, you must avoid contact with skin and eyes. This chemical should be sealed and stored in a cool and dry place. Strontium sulfate is a polymeric material, isostructural with barium sulfate. Crystallized strontium sulfate is utilized by a small group of radiolarian protozoa, called the Acantharea, as a main constituent of their skeleton. It is commonly used to refine strontium and strontium compounds, and it's widely used in national defense, electronics, machinery, chemical industry, and is also used in ceramics, dye, medicine and other industries.
