Application

Strontium chloride serves a variety of important functions across multiple fields due to its unique properties. It is primarily used in pyrotechnics for producing a bright red flame, owing to its ability to emit vibrant red light when heated. This compound is instrumental in the production of military flares and as a red coloring agent in fireworks. In the realm of oral care, strontium chloride hexahydrate is incorporated into toothpastes designed to alleviate tooth sensitivity by blocking exposed dentin tubules. It also has applications in biological research, specifically in experiments involving the activation of mouse oocytes, thereby contributing to the understanding of fertilization and early embryonic development. Additionally, recent studies have suggested its potential use in topical formulations to reduce itchiness, showcasing its versatility. Notably, strontium chloride's non-reactivity with oxygen and carbon dioxide makes it easier to handle industrially and its relatively low toxicity compared to other chlorides, such as barium chloride, allows for safer use in various applications.
