Strontium fluoride is a chemical compound with the formula SrF2. It is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and has a high melting point. Strontium fluoride can be produced by reacting strontium carbonate or strontium hydroxide with hydrofluoric acid:
SrCO3 + 2HF → SrF2 + CO2 + H2O
Sr(OH)2 + 2HF → SrF2 + 2H2O
Strontium fluoride has several applications, including:
In the production of optical components, such as lenses and prisms, as it has a high refractive index and low dispersion.As a flux in metallurgy, to aid in the removal of impurities during metal smelting.In the production of strontium metal, which is used in the production of ferrite magnets.In dental applications, as a component of toothpastes and mouthwashes to prevent tooth decay.
It is important to handle strontium fluoride with care, as it is a toxic substance that can cause skin and eye irritation and is harmful if ingested or inhaled. Proper protective equipment, such as gloves and goggles, should be worn when handling this compound. It should also be stored away from acids and other incompatible materials.
