Description
Barium Chloride Dihydrate Product Overview
Barium chloride dihydrate (BaCl2·2H2O) is a white crystalline powder that dissolves freely in water and gives a neutral solution with a pH of about 5–8. Compared with Barium chloride in anhydrous form, it is easier to dissolve and handle in aqueous processes.
Chlor-alkali and salt producers use it to remove sulfate from brine, because barium sulfate precipitates and can be filtered off. Similarly, laboratories use it as the standard reagent for detecting sulfate, and pigment producers use it to make barium-based pigments such as Barium sulfate. It also serves as a starting material for other barium compounds.
Soluble barium compounds are toxic if swallowed, so Zyntex supplies it for professional use. Related barium compounds in our range also include Barium carbonate.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I use the dihydrate instead of anhydrous barium chloride?
The dihydrate suits aqueous processes and laboratory use, whereas the anhydrous form suits molten salt baths.
How does barium chloride detect sulfate?
When added to a sample, it forms a white precipitate of barium sulfate if sulfate is present.
How can I get a price and documents?
