Application

Strontium sulfide serves primarily as a depilatory agent used for hair removal from skin and hides, as well as an essential component in luminous paints. In its powdered form, it is characterized by a gray color and emits a hydrogen sulfide-like odor, particularly in moist air. This compound is insoluble in cold water and breaks down in both hot water and acidic environments, where it can react vigorously to release hydrogen sulfide gas. Additionally, when exposed to wet air, it may decompose, releasing H2S or undergo oxidation to form strontium sulfate (SrSO4). Strontium sulfide's interaction with water vapor and heat can produce various byproducts like SrO, SrSO4, hydrogen, and sulfur dioxide, while its exothermic reactions with oxidizing agents can result in the generation of toxic gases.

Efficient and Versatile Compound for Research

After using Alfa Chemistry's Strontium sulfide in our lab, its role in synthesizing luminous materials was impressive. Despite the H2S odor, its reactivity with acids was crucial for depilatory studies.
