Strontium Sulphate

Product Description

Strontium Sulphate is a white crystalline or powdery inorganic compound composed of strontium, sulfur, and oxygen. It occurs naturally as the mineral celestine (celestite) and is characterized by its high density, chemical stability, and insolubility in water. Strontium Sulphate is widely used in ceramics, glass manufacturing, pigments, and analytical laboratories, serving as a reliable source of strontium.

Due to its thermal stability and chemical inertness, Strontium Sulphate is commonly employed as a filler in paints, plastics, and rubber, and as a precursor for producing strontium carbonate, nitrate, and oxide. It also finds applications in radiation shielding materials, electronic components, and ceramic glazes.
