Strontium Oxalate

Product Description

Strontium Oxalate is a white crystalline powder that is insoluble in water and stable under normal conditions. It is widely used in pyrotechnics, analytical chemistry, and material science. When heated, Strontium Oxalate decomposes to form strontium carbonate (SrCO₃) and carbon monoxide (CO), making it an important precursor in the production of other strontium compounds.

In the pyrotechnic industry, Strontium Oxalate is valued for its ability to produce a deep red color in fireworks and signal flares, similar to strontium nitrate but with lower hygroscopicity (less moisture absorption). It is also utilized in ceramics, glass manufacturing, and research laboratories as a stable source of strontium.
