description Product Description
Used as a yellow pigment in dyes, inks, and glass production, especially for textiles, printing, and enhancing color durability.
Commonly employed in the tanning of leather to improve durability and resistance to bacterial attack.
Serves as an analytical reagent in laboratories, particularly as an indicator in precipitation titrations for determining chloride levels in water and biological samples, forming a red-brown silver chromate precipitate to clearly indicate the endpoint.
Utilized in the electroplating (chrome plating) industry to form protective coatings on metals, enhancing corrosion resistance.
Acts as an oxidizing agent in the production of other chromium compounds and in certain organic synthesis processes.
Historically used in photography and in the preparation of lithographic stones, though this application has declined.
Also found in some wood preservatives due to its antimicrobial properties.
As a chromium(VI) compound, it is carcinogenic and must be handled with extreme caution in research and laboratory settings.
