APPEARANCE

Bright Red

PROPERTIES:

Sodium dichromate is the inorganic compound with the formula Na2Cr2O7. Usually, however, the salt is handled as its dihydrate Na2Cr2O7•2H2O. Virtually all chromium ore is processed via conversion to sodium dichromate and virtually all compounds and materials based on chromium are prepared from this salt.

USES / APPLICATIONS:

It is mainly used in the manufacturing of Chromic acid, chrome pigment and other chromic salts. It is also used in the industries of tanning leather, textile, electroplating, medicine, oil & fat, petroleum, dye and drilling, etc.
