Description
Barium Chloride Product Overview
Barium chloride (BaCl2) is a white crystalline powder or granule that dissolves easily in water. The anhydrous form is used where water must be avoided, while the dihydrate is listed separately as Barium Chloride 2-Hydrate.
Metal processors use molten barium chloride salt baths for heat treatment and case hardening of tool steels. In chlor-alkali and salt production, it removes sulfate from brine by precipitating barium sulfate. It is also the starting material for other barium compounds and pigments, such as Barium sulfate and Barium carbonate, and laboratories use it to test for sulfate.
Soluble barium compounds are toxic if swallowed, so it is supplied for professional industrial use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the anhydrous form and the dihydrate?
The anhydrous form contains no water and is preferred for salt baths; the dihydrate is easier to handle in aqueous applications.
How is it used in brine purification?
It reacts with dissolved sulfate to form insoluble barium sulfate, which is filtered off.
How can I get a price and documents?
Prices depend on quantity, packaging and destination. Contact us with your required volume to receive a quotation together with the CoA and SDS.
