CS1207 Caesium hydroxide monohydrate (CsOH-H2O) (CAS No. 35103-79-8)

Cæsiumhydroxid-Monohydrat Description

Cæsiumhydroxid-Monohydrat is a highly reactive compound that is very hygroscopic. Cæsium hydroxide is the strongest known alkali. It serves as the starting material for caesium products, organic reagents and pharmaceutical intermediates. Cæsiumhydroxid-Monohydrat is a water‐soluble caesium source for oxygen‐sensitive applications, for example in metal production. Cæsiumhydroxid-Monohydrat (CsOH-H2O) is used extensively in the ceramics, glass and pharmaceutical industries. It can be employed as a reagent for the desulphurisation of heavy oil and as a catalyst for alkaline battery electrolytes and polymerisation reactions at low temperatures (down to -50℃).
