Strontium Carbonate CAS 1633-05-2

Strontium Carbonate is an odorless, tasteless, white fine powder. Our Electronic Grade is produced via a specialized carbonization process that achieves a purity of $\ge 99.0\mathrm{\%}$≥99.0%. Unlike standard industrial grades, the electronic grade is characterized by its strict control over alkali metals and heavy metal impurities.

In the electronics industry, it serves as a critical precursor for manufacturing PTC thermistors, multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC), and strontium ferrites. Its ability to absorb X-rays also makes it a vital component in specialty glass formulations. We provide various particle size distributions (D50) to meet the specific sintering requirements of different high-tech applications.

Physicochemical Properties

Applications

1. Electronic Components: Used in the production of PTC thermistors, varistors, and Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCC). It is a key ingredient in strontium titanate ceramics.
2. Magnetic Materials: Essential for manufacturing strontium hexaferrite magnets, which are used in speakers, motors, and magnetic separators due to their high coercive force.
3. Specialty Glass: Used in the production of color television glass (X-ray shielding), optical glass, and display panels to improve refractive index and chemical durability.
4. Pyrotechnics: Serves as a high-quality red colorant in fireworks and flares, providing a deep, vibrant crimson flame.
5. Metallurgy: Used as a flux in aluminum and magnesium smelting to remove impurities and improve alloy grain structure.
6. Nanomaterials: High-purity grades are used as precursors for advanced strontium-based nanomaterials and chemical reagents.

Storage Conditions

• Ventilation: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse.
• Moisture Protection: The product should be kept in original sealed packaging to prevent moisture absorption and caking.
• Segregation: Keep away from strong acids to prevent the release of carbon dioxide and the formation of soluble strontium salts.
• Handling: Palletized storage is recommended to avoid contact with damp floors.

Safety Precautions

• Inhalation: Avoid breathing dust. Use local exhaust ventilation or wear an approved N95/P2 dust mask during handling.
• Eye & Skin Contact: May cause mild mechanical irritation. Wear safety goggles and protective gloves. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water.
• Ingestion: Low acute toxicity, but avoid ingestion. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
• Environmental: While strontium carbonate is not highly toxic to the environment, prevent large-scale spills from entering water systems or drainage.
