Key Applications
Chromium(III) Chloride Hexahydrate is used as a precursor for chromium(III) complexes and as a catalyst or catalyst precursor in chemical synthesis. Commercial references also identify applications in organic synthesis, chromium-containing materials and textile/dyeing processes.
Specification
Commercial grades vary by application. Current supplier references include 96%, ≥98%, 99.5% and ultra-high-purity grades, so the actual UAB An Group Export specification should be confirmed by the applicable supplier specification and CoA rather than presenting one purity as universal.
Storage & Handling
Chromium(III) chloride hexahydrate should be handled according to the current SDS for the exact grade supplied. Commercial safety information identifies corrosive/metal-corrosive, acute oral toxicity, skin-sensitization and aquatic-hazard classifications for applicable grades.
