Barium carbonate
Barium carbonate is an inorganic compound used in the production of ceramics, glass, and electronic components due to its high dielectric constant and thermal stability. It is also employed in the manufacture of rodenticides and as a precursor in the synthesis of other barium compounds. Available in powder form, it has a molecular weight of 197.34 g/mol, a CAS number of 513-77-9, and should be stored at ambient temperatures. It carries a warning signal word due to its toxicity. Molekula supplies Barium carbonate from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
