Application

Strontium hydroxide, appearing as deliquescent, colorless crystals, serves multiple industrial purposes. Primarily, it is instrumental in extracting sugar from sugar beet molasses. Additionally, it plays a crucial role in the production of various materials such as soaps, adhesives, plastics, glass, and lubricants, all of which are designed to perform under extreme temperature conditions. Commercially supplied often as its more soluble octahydrate form, strontium hydroxide can be thermally processed, losing water to transition to its monohydrate and ultimately the oxide form, thereby showcasing its versatile nature in diverse applications.
