Description :

Overview of Strontium

Strontium is a soft, silvery-white alkaline earth metal known for its high reactivity and distinctive flame-red colour. It is not found freely in nature and is usually obtained from minerals such as celestite and strontianite. Due to its chemical behavior, Strontium is widely used in pyrotechnics, electronics, metallurgy, ceramics, and specialty chemical manufacturing.

In industrial and commercial applications, Strontium and its compounds are valued for their optical properties, reactivity, and ability to improve performance in glass, alloys, and electronic materials. It plays an important role in signal flares, fireworks, ferrite magnets, speciality glass, and research applications. Because of its reactive nature, it is handled strictly under controlled industrial conditions.
