Barium chloride dihydrate, 99+%

Description

CAS: 10326-27-9 | BaCl2H4O2 | 244.26 g/mol

Barium chloride dihydrate is mainly used in the purification of brine solution in caustic chlorine plants, as a reagent in the test for sulfate ion in chemical lab, and as a cleansing agent in the production of other barium chemicals and lubricating oil additives. It is used in the production of molecular sieves, pigments, and paper coatings, and serves as a precursor to fabricate the doped barium zirconate.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
