Product Specifications

Strontium Carbonate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula SrCO₃ and CAS Number 1633-05-2. It is typically supplied as a white, odourless powder or crystalline solid. It is practically insoluble in water but reacts with acids to produce soluble strontium salts and carbon dioxide.

Strontium Carbonate is valued as a source of strontium in chemical reactions and inorganic compound preparation. Common laboratory applications include the preparation of other strontium compounds, inorganic chemistry experiments, analytical chemistry procedures, and research involving alkaline earth metal compounds. It is also used in specialised industrial applications, including ceramic materials, glass manufacturing, glazes, enamels, and electronic ceramic formulations.

Its chemical properties make Strontium Carbonate useful in inorganic synthesis, materials science, and general laboratory research. The appropriate grade and purity should be selected according to the requirements of the intended application.

KSFE Malaysia supplies laboratory chemicals and scientific products for research institutions, educational facilities, and general laboratory applications.

Safety Note: Strontium Carbonate is generally not classified as a hazardous substance under GHS criteria for many commercial grades. However, its dust may cause irritation to the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Avoid inhaling dust and prevent unnecessary contact with the eyes and skin. Handle it in a well-ventilated area using appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety goggles, gloves, and suitable respiratory protection where necessary.
