Strontium bromate is a rarely considered chemical in the laboratory or in industries. It is, however, mentioned in the book Uncle Tungsten: Memories of a Chemical Boyhood by Oliver Sacks. There it is said that this salt glows when crystallized from a saturated aqueous solution.{{cite book | title = Uncle Tungsten: Memories of a Chemical Boyhood | author = Oliver Sacks | date = 2002 | edition = First Vintage Books | page = 230 }} Chemically this salt is soluble in water, and is a moderately strong oxidizing agent.{{cite web|title=Strontium Bromate|url=http://www.americanelements.com/srbrat.html|publisher=American Elements|accessdate=25 July 2013}}{{fv|date=November 2024}}

Strontium bromate is toxic if ingested and irritates the skin and respiratory tract if come into contact with or inhaled, respectively. Its chemical formula is Sr(BrO₃)₂.
