| Specification: |
?Strontium?carbonate?(CAS NO.1633-05-2) is?the carbonate salt of strontium that has the appearance of a white or grey powder. It occurs in nature as the mineral strontianite.Being a carbonate, it is a weak base and therefore is reactive with acids. It is otherwise stable and safe to work with. It is practically insoluble in water (1 part in 100,000). The solubility is increased significantly if the water is saturated with carbon dioxide, to 1 part in 1,000 ,also it is soluble in dilute acids. | |
| Storage Temperature: | Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry location. Keep tightly sealed when not in use. | |
| Color: | WHITE POWDER Colorless or white rhombic crystalline solid transforming to hexagonal above 926 deg C White orthorhombic crystals White crystalline powder | |
| Usage: | In pyrotechnics, manufacturing iridescent glass, refining sugar. | |
