Barium fluoride by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. This compound is a salt of fluorine and barium. The reagent is available as a white coloured powder which is slightly soluble in water and soluble in methanol and ethanol. It has a melting point of 1368 C, and a boiling point of 2260 C. While it is stable under general conditions, it is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents and must be stored carefully. CAS No.: 7787-32-8 Quantity Provided: 500 gm per bottle Molecular formula: BaF2 Molecular weight: 175.32 Assay: Minimum 98.5 %Barium fluoride sulphonate has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. This reagent can be used to create optical components such as lenses, since it is transparent from the ultraviolet to the infrared radiation spectrum. Barium fluoride is one of the fastest scintillator available for the detection of X-rays, gamma rays or other high energy particles. It is additionally used as a pre-opacifying agent and in enamel and glazing frits production. It is also used in the production of welding agents, in metallurgy, and as a molten bath for refining aluminium. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
