Barium fluoride 97+% 500 g

Barium fluoride is a highly efficient and versatile compound used in various industries, including optics, electronics, and ceramics. With its exceptional transparency to ultraviolet light and high refractive index, barium fluoride is an essential component in the production of lenses, prisms, and windows for ultraviolet and infrared applications. Its excellent thermal stability and low dispersion make it an ideal material for optical coatings and thin films. Additionally, barium fluoride is utilized in the manufacturing of X-ray imaging devices, scintillators, and radiation detectors due to its ability to convert X-rays into visible light.
When working with Barium fluoride, it is important to follow safety instructions to minimize the risk of accidents or exposure. Here are some short safety instructions to consider: 1. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear appropriate PPE, including safety goggles, gloves, and a lab coat or protective clothing, when handling Barium fluoride. This will help protect your eyes, skin, and clothing from potential contact or exposure. 2. Ventilation: Work in a well-ventilated area or use a fume hood to prevent the inhalation of Barium fluoride dust or fumes. Ensure that the ventilation system is functioning properly before starting any work. 3. Handling: Handle Barium fluoride with care to avoid spills or breakage. Use appropriate tools, such as tongs or scoops, to transfer or manipulate the substance. Avoid generating dust or aerosols during handling. 4. Storage: Store Barium fluoride in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Keep it away from incompatible substances and sources of heat or ignition. 5. First Aid: In case of accidental exposure or ingestion, seek medical attention immediately. Rinse affected areas with plenty of water and remove contaminated clothing. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed by medical professionals. 6. Waste Disposal: Dispose of Barium fluoride waste according to local regulations and guidelines. Do not pour it down the drain or dispose of it with regular trash. Contact your local waste management authorities for proper disposal methods. 7. Emergency Procedures: Familiarize yourself with emergency procedures, including the location of safety showers, eyewash stations, fire extinguishers, and emergency exits. In case of a fire, use appropriate extinguishing agents suitable for the type of fire. Remember, these are general safety instructions, and it is essential to consult the specific safety data sheet (SDS) and follow the guidelines provided by the manufacturer or your organization.
