Strontium is a metallic element with the symbol Sr, atomic number 38, belonging to group 2A on the periodic table, and is an alkaline earth metal with a silvery-white lustre.
Our company sells strontium (Sr), strontium oxide (SrO), strontium peroxide (SrO2), strontium nitride (Sr3N2) and strontium hydroxide among others.
The applications of strontium and strontium compounds are as follows:
1. Strontium metal is used in the manufacture of alloys and phototubes, as well as in analytical chemistry and pyrotechnics.
2. Strontium is widely used in various fields such as electronics, chemical industry, metallurgy, military industry, light industry, medicine and optics due to its strong absorption of X-ray radiation and unique physicochemical properties.
3. Strontium compounds are mostly used in the ceramics, glass and fireworks industries, with a small proportion applied to other industries. The use of strontium in ceramic ferrite magnets and other applications in glass make the ceramics and glass industries the most important industries for strontium end-use applications.
4. The addition of strontium metal to aluminium alloys improves the properties of cast products, especially those used in aerospace and automotive applications.
5. Strontium oxide, strontium nitrate and strontium chloride are used in the manufacture of pyrotechnics and flares.
6. Strontium is widely found in mineral water and is an essential trace element, which has the function of preventing arteriosclerosis, preventing bone fracture in osteoporosis patients, and preventing the formation of blood clots.
