Industrial Uses

1. Pharmaceuticals 

  • Precursor: Strontium chloride (SrCl₂) is used in chemical synthesis as a precursor to various other strontium compounds. It readily reacts with other reagents to form desired products, making it a versatile starting material. Specifically, it's used to create strontium chromate, strontium carbonate, and strontium sulfate, among others, by reacting it with the corresponding anions.
  • Pharmaceutical research and diagnostics: It serves as a reagent in various research and diagnostic applications.
  • Pyrotechnics: It produces a bright red color in flames, making it useful in fireworks and flares. 
  • Dental products: It can be found in some toothpastes to help reduce tooth sensitivity. 
  • Bone health: It is used in some bone health supplements and treatments.
  • Medical imaging: Strontium chloride, specifically the radioactive isotope Strontium-89 (Sr-89), is used in medical imaging and treatment primarily for palliative care of bone pain caused by metastatic cancer. It's not used for direct imaging in the sense of creating detailed pictures like X-rays or MRI, but rather as a therapeutic agent that allows for pain relief and can be visualized through bremsstrahlung imaging.
