Description
White crystals that occur in nature as the mineral Celestite. Strontium sulfate was used occasionally as a white artist pigment in England in the early 19th century. It was soon replaced by Barium sulfate. Currently strontium sulfate is used as a red colorant in pyrotechnics, ceramics, and Glass.
Synonyms and Related Terms
strontium white; strontium sulphate (Br.); sulfato de estroncio (Esp.); sulfate de strontium (Fr.); sulfato de estrôncio (Port.); celestite
