Barium carbonate, 99%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

 

Barium carbonate is widely used in the ceramics industry as an ingredient in glazes. It acts as a flux, a matting and crystallizing agent and combines with certain colouring oxides to produce unique colours not easily attainable by other means. It is also used for removing of sulfates in phosphoric acid production and chlorine alkali electrolysis.

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.
