Name: Barium chloride

Molecular formula: BaCl₂

CAS No.: 10361-37-2

Description:

Barium chloride 99% is an inorganic compound that appears as a white crystalline powder. Odorless, with a bitter and salty taste. It is readily soluble in water, slightly soluble in hydrochloric acid and nitric acid, and insoluble in ethanol and ether. It has a hygroscopic nature. When barium chloride is heated to 113 ℃, it loses its crystalline water and becomes anhydrous, white powder.

In industry, barium chloride is used to manufacture other barium salts, pigments, coatings, mordants, leather, insecticides, pharmaceuticals, inks, water softeners, etc. Specifically, it is also used in industries such as metal heat treatment, electronic instruments, and metallurgy.
In agriculture. Barium chloride reacts with certain acidic substances to produce phosphate that can be absorbed by plants, which helps to improve crop yield and quality.
In the textile and leather industries. Barium chloride is used as a mordant and artificial silk extinction agent.
In mechanical processing. Barium chloride is used as a heat treatment agent.
Meanwhile, barium chloride is used to produce barium titanate and ultimately applied to MLCC ceramic capacitors.

Barium chloride should be packaged in 25kg plastic bag inside and woven bag outside.

Barium chloride should be stored in a cool and well-ventilated warehouse, away from open flames and heat sources. The packaging should be sealed. It should be stored separately from oxidizing agents, acids, and food chemicals to avoid mixing and potential reactions.
