Barium Chloride Dihydrate

Barium chloride dihydrate (BaCl2·2H2O) is a white crystalline inorganic compound used in chemical synthesis, water treatment, and as a heat-treating salt. It falls under HTS 2827.39.45.00 as a chemically defined chloride of barium, specifically classified among other barium chlorides excluding certain commercial forms.

High-Purity Barium Chloride

High-purity barium chloride (99.99% BaCl2) is utilized in optical glass manufacturing and as a precursor for barium titanate ceramics. It qualifies for HTS 2827.39.45.00 due to its status as a chemically defined barium chloride, meeting Chapter 28 Note 1 purity criteria.

Barium Chloride Laboratory Reagent

ACS-grade barium chloride reagent is supplied in small bottles for analytical chemistry and precipitation tests. Under HTS 2827.39.45.00, it is classified as other barium chlorides when not qualifying as a retail preparation.

Technical Grade Barium Chloride

Technical grade barium chloride crystals serve in industrial water softening and as a mordant in textile dyeing. HTS 2827.39.45.00 covers this as a chemically defined barium chloride of other types.

Barium Chlorate

Barium chlorate (Ba(ClO3)2) is an oxidizer used in pyrotechnics and herbicides, though technically a chlorate, sometimes traded under chloride oxide provisions. It fits HTS 2827.39.45.00 when interpreted as barium chloride oxide derivative per heading scope.
