Used in toothpaste for sensitive teeth due to its ability to block dentin tubules, reducing pain signals from exposed nerves. Commonly found in desensitizing dental products, including mouthwashes.

Also used in pyrotechnics to produce a bright red flame in fireworks and signal flares.

Serves as a source of strontium in laboratory settings for chemical synthesis and in the preparation of other strontium compounds, including those used in luminescent materials and ceramics.

Employed in scientific research, particularly in molecular and cell biology, to study the role of strontium as a substitute for calcium in various cellular processes.

Occasionally used in some radiological applications due to strontium’s affinity for bone tissue, though this is less common with the hexahydrate form.
