Dark Red Flakes Chromic Salt / Chromic Acid

Product Profile of Dark Red Flakes Chromic Salt / Chromic Acid
Sreenivasa Industries offers Dark Red Flakes Chromic Salt / Chromic Acid. Sreenivasa Industries has been awarded ISO 9001:2000 certifications. Dark Red Flakes Chromic Salt / Chromic Acid is a strong acid and oxidizing agent and when neutralized with alkalis, chromic acid forms dichromate or chromate compounds. Dark Red Flakes Chromic Salt / Chromic Acid in oxidation reactions, the chromium atom is reduced from the hexavalent to trivalent state. The chemical characteristic of this chemical is to intermediate chromium oxides at slightly higher temperatures. The major uses of chromic acid are in wood preservation, metal finishing and plating. Secondary applications include catalyst manufacture and magnetic recording tapes. It is used to produce salt-free CCA type wood preservatives. These preservatives are combinations of chromium, copper and arsenic. The molecular weight of this chemical is 100.0. It should be stored in a cool, dry place. It is a powerful oxidizing agent and may cause a fire if it comes in contact with readily oxidizable or combustible matter.
