Strontium Carbonate CAS 1633-05-2

What Strontium Carbonate Is

Strontium Carbonate is the strontium salt of carbonic acid, with the simple formula SrCO3. The white mineral powder is dense, odorless and sparingly soluble in water, while acids break it down and release carbon dioxide. On heating it yields strontium oxide, a convenient solid source of strontium for high temperature melts. UATChem supplies industrial material, with assay, calcium, barium, iron and particle size on the COA and TDS.

Glass, Ceramic, Ferrite and Pyrotechnic Uses

• Glass. It is melted into display and specialty glass where strontium raises refractive index and helps absorb X ray radiation, a major outlet for the carbonate.
• Ceramic and electronic. It acts as a flux in ceramic glazes, electronic ceramics and phosphors, improving melt behavior and finish.
• Ferrite. It forms strontium hard ferrite used in permanent magnets for motors, loudspeakers and magnetic tile.
• Pyrotechnic and other. It gives fireworks a deep red flame, supports nonferrous metallurgy and is converted into strontium nitrate, chromate and aluminate.

Typical Specifications

Assay and impurity levels vary by grade and are reported on the COA and TDS, while handling is covered by the SDS; the table below identifies the material.

Packaging, Documents and Ordering

• Orders ship in 25 kg woven bags or fiber drums, and bulk volumes in 1000 kg FIBC ton bags, matching the photos. Keep the powder sealed and dry, away from moisture.
• Every lot comes with a COA, TDS and SDS covering assay, calcium, barium, iron and particle size for the grade ordered.
• Samples are available for evaluation. To quote, UATChem needs the grade, quantity, packing and destination port.

FAQ

Q: What is strontium carbonate used for?

A: Strontium Carbonate goes into glass and ceramics, ferrite magnets, red fireworks, metallurgy and other strontium chemicals.

Q: How is strontium carbonate packed?

A: UATChem supplies it as white powder in 25 kg woven bags, fiber drums and 1000 kg FIBC ton bags, with other packing on request.

Q: How does strontium carbonate behave?

A: It is nearly insoluble in water but dissolves in acids with carbon dioxide release, and on heating gives strontium oxide.
