Strontium dichloride(CAS: 10476-85-4)

Strontium dichloride is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula SrCl₂. It is a white crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water. It has a melting point of 1,375°C and a density of 3.55 g/cm³.

Strontium dichloride is used in the production of speciality glass, ceramic glazes, and electronic components. It is also utilized in the synthesis of other strontium compounds and as a reducing agent in organic synthesis.

Strontium dichloride is generally considered safe for industrial use, but it should be handled with care due to its potential to irritate the skin and eyes. Proper protective equipment, such as gloves and safety goggles, should be worn. It is not considered toxic, but ingestion or inhalation of high concentrations can be harmful.

Strontium dichloride should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from heat and sources of ignition. It should be kept in a sealed container to prevent moisture absorption. Avoid exposure to light and maintain a temperature below 30°C to ensure stability and prevent decomposition.
