Product Description
Barium Chloride is a white crystalline solid with a bitter and salty taste, primarily used in chemical analysis to test for the presence of sulfate ions. It is also used as an additive in various industrial processes, water treatment, laboratory chemicals, and as a flux in metallurgy. With a high melting point and non-combustible properties, this chemical is highly soluble in water and has a neutral to slightly basic pH level. Barium Chloride is toxic if ingested or inhaled, so it should be stored in a cool dry area away from acids and oxidizers. This industrial grade or chemical analysis grade compound has a purity of typically 99% and a density of 3.86 g/cm3.
