Description :

Overview of Barium Acetate

Barium Acetate is a barium salt made from acetic acid that is utilised as a chemical reagent catalyst, as well as in several industrial uses. It is renowned for its solubility in water and its role as a source of barium. Barium Acetate can be used for the manufacturing process, analytical chemistry, as well as specialised chemical syntheses.

The compound is crystals of white colour with hygroscopic characteristics. Much like the way Calcium Iodide as well as Calcium Sulphate are used as sources of calcium in a variety of applications, Barium Acetate provides a solution to barium that is soluble for certain applications in the analytical and industrial sectors.

Similar products are Barium Chloride, Barium Carbonate, Calcium Iodide, along with other alkaline and barium earth metallic salts.
