Strontium hydroxide Sr(OH)₂ is an inorganic ceramic compound belonging to the alkaline earth hydroxide family, typically used as a white crystalline powder or in aqueous solution form. It is employed in industrial applications including cement chemistry (as a hydration product in calcium aluminate cements), wastewater treatment, sugar refining, and specialty chemical synthesis. Engineers select strontium hydroxide for applications requiring alkalinity, high-temperature stability, or specific chemical reactivity; it is notable in refractory and binder systems where strontium incorporation improves durability compared to standard calcium-based alternatives.
