Barium acetate

Barium acetate is a white, crystalline, water-soluble solid. It is commonly used as a component of ceramics, pigments, inks, vanishes, and paints. Another critical application of barium acetate is as a raw material for manufacturing barium titanate (BaTiO3), an advanced ceramic material used in thermistors, gas lighters, resonators, ultrasonic cleaners, ceramic capacitors, actuators, buzzer, ferroelectric film memory and electro-optic devices. These applications are summarized as: •    paint dryer •    mordent  •    barium ceramics (e.g. barium titanate) precursor •    green pyrotechnic colorant •    catalyst •    grease ingredient •    high quality perovskite solar cell additive
