Strontium Carbonate Description
Strontium Carbonate (CAS: 1633-05-2) is a water-insoluble Strontium source that can easily be converted to other Strontium compounds, such as the oxide by heating (calcination). Carbonate compounds also give off carbon dioxide when treated with dilute acids. Strontium Carbonate is generally immediately available in most volumes. Ultra-high purity and high purity compositions improve both optical quality and usefulness as scientific standards. Nanoscale elemental powders and suspensions, as alternative high surface area forms, may be considered.
Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) produces many standard grades when applicable, including Mil Spec (military grade); ACS, Reagent and Technical Grade; Food, Agricultural and Pharmaceutical Grade; Optical Grade, USP and EP/BP (European Pharmacopoeia/British Pharmacopoeia) and follows applicable ASTM testing standards. Typical and custom packaging is available. Additional technical, research, and safety (MSDS) information is available as is a Reference Calculator for converting relevant units of measurement.

Strontium Carbonate Applications
Strontium Carbide can be used in the production of strontium ferrite magnetic materials, nonferrous metal smelting, red fireworks heart liver and the manufacture of high purity strontium carbonate for PTC and other advanced electronic components. It also used in TV glass and display glass production, strontium ferrite, magnetic materials and non-ferrous metal desulfurization and other industries. It is also used in the production of pyrotechnics, fluorescent glass, flares, paper making, medicine, analytical reagents and other raw materials for making strontium salts.
