Industrial Grade Barium Hydroxide Cas No: 22326-55-2

Barium Hydroxide is mainly used as an additive in thermoplastics (such as phenolic resins), rayons and PVC stabilizers to improve plastic properties. This material is used as a general-purpose additive for lubricants and greases. Other industrial applications for barium hydroxide include sugar fabrication, manufacturing soaps, fusing of silicates and chemical synthesis of other barium compounds and organic compounds. Barium hydroxide is available as colorless or white crystals. It is odorless and soluble in water. It is stable under ordinary conditions of use and storage. It is incompatible with acids, oxidizers, and chlorinated rubber. Barium hydroxide is corrosive to metals such as zinc. Barium hydroxide is very alkaline and rapidly absorbs carbon dioxide from air, becoming completely insoluble in water. Barium hydroxide is used in analytical chemistry for the titration of weak acids. Barium hydroxide is used in organic synthesis as a strong base. Barium hydroxide decomposes to barium oxide when heated to 800A A C. Barium hydroxide monohydrate appears as white crystals; easily soluble in hot water, hardly soluble in cool water, alcohol, and acetone.
