Strontium Carbonate
- CAS Number: 1633-05-2
- (SrCO₃)
Strontium carbonate (SrCO₃) for industrial applications, available for immediate supply in 25 kg bags and big bags.
Description
Uses and Applications
Strontium carbonate is used in the glazing and enamelling of ceramics for tableware and sanitaryware, where it improves the gloss, scratch resistance and durability of the coating. As a flux it allows barium to be partially or fully replaced in formulations seeking that performance profile. It is also used in the glass industry and in the manufacture of ferrites and magnetic materials, as well as in pyrotechnics, where strontium produces the red flame colour.
Packaging and Logistics
We supply strontium carbonate in 25 kg bags and big bags, supported by agile logistics to facilitate its integration into processes already validated by our customers.

- Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About the Strontium Carbonate
Can it replace barium carbonate in a glaze?
Can it replace barium carbonate in a glaze?
In many formulations it can: both act as alkaline earth fluxes and play an equivalent role in the glaze. The substitution is not unit for unit, because their molecular weight and behaviour in the melt differ, so it requires recalculating the composition and checking the result against the actual firing cycle.
What does strontium contribute to a glaze finish?
What does strontium contribute to a glaze finish?
It contributes to a stable gloss and a harder surface, with good scratch resistance. That is why it is used in items subject to intensive use, such as tableware and sanitaryware, where the coating must keep its appearance over time.
Is it used outside the ceramic sector?
Is it used outside the ceramic sector?
Yes. It is a raw material in the manufacture of strontium ferrites for permanent magnets, it is used in glass formulations, and it is used in pyrotechnics, where strontium salts are responsible for the red colour of the flame.
