Strontium chloride hexahydrate, reagent, 99.0+%, 100g CAS Number: 10025-70-4 Linear Formula: SrCl2 · 6H2O Molecular Weight: 266.62   Strontium chloride (SrCl2) is a salt of strontium and chloride. It is a typical salt, forming neutral aqueous solutions. Like all compounds of Sr, this salt emits a bright red colour in a flame; in fact it is used as a source of redness in fireworks. Its chemical properties are intermediate between those for barium chloride,  which is more toxic, and calcium chloride.  Strontium chloride is the precursor to other compounds of strontium, such as yellow strontium chromate, which is used as a corrosion inhibitor for aluminium. Strontium chloride is often used as a red colouring agent in pyrotechnics. It imparts a much more intense red colour to the flames than most other alternatives. It is employed in small quantities in glass-making and metallurgy. Sea water aquaria require small amounts of strontium chloride, which is consumed in the production of the exoskeletonsof certain plankton.
