Strontium Peroxide (SrO₂)

Applications:

• Used as a strong oxidizing agent in industrial processes, such as the production of strontium salts (including strontium carbonate and strontium nitrate)
• In the manufacturing of fireworks and pyrotechnics to impart a vivid red color upon ignition
• Used in the preparation of strontium-based ceramics, specialized glass, and high-performance coatings
• Employed in the bleaching of textiles and paper products in large-scale industrial applications
• Used in the production of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and other chemical intermediates
• Applied in the oil and gas industry for well drilling and completion fluids

Hazard Identification:

• GHS Classification: Oxidizing Solid (Category 2)
• Hazard Statements:
  • H272: May intensify fire; oxidizer
  • H302: Harmful if swallowed
  • H314: Causes severe skin burns and eye damage
• Precautionary Statements:
  • P210: Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and hot surfaces. No smoking
  • P280: Wear protective gloves, protective clothing, and eye protection
  • P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes

Storage and Safety:

• Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from flammable materials and reducing agents. Keep containers tightly closed
• Handling: Use appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, eye protection, protective clothing). Avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin and eyes. Ensure proper ventilation in work areas
• Fire Safety: Strontium peroxide is a strong oxidizer. Mixing it with organic materials or reducing agents can lead to vigorous combustion. In case of fire, use dry chemical extinguishers, dry sand, or alcohol-resistant foam. Do not use water or carbon dioxide extinguishers
