In general, formates are excellent precursors for production of ultra-pure catalysts,
ceramics, and nanoparticles. Strontium formate dihydrate is a water-soluble
crystalline solid that decomposes to strontium oxide on heating. Strontium formate
dihydrate exhibits marked nonlinear optical (NLO) properties comparable to that of
the best nonlinear materials used for efficient frequency doubling of a YAG:Nd laser
and for the phase matched SHG for ruby laser. Strontium formate dihydrate can be
doped with materials to modulate its NLO response. In medical fields, strontium
formate may act as a topical antipruritic agent in reducing histamine mediated itch.
In signaling devices, strontium formate can also be used for producing red fire in
pyrotechnics such as railroad fuses, emergency flares, signal rockets and fireworks.
