Chromium sulphate is a green, crystalline compound with the formula Cr(OH)SO₄ commonly used in leather processing. It is widely used in different industries because of its numerous chemical features.
Tanning Agent
Leather and textiles
Crucial in the process of leather tanning, which imparts specific characteristics to leather-like flexibility, strength, and resistance to water.
Assists in the creation of cross-linkages in collagen fibres of hides used in leather manufacturing to produce quality leather goods.
Its application is as a mordant in fabric dyeing to ensure that the dyes stick properly to the fibres.
Improves the depth of colour and the fabric dyes’ ability to withstand washings and fading due to exposure to light.
Used in the synthesis of green colours for paints, coatings, and inks.
Stable and vibrantly coloured in its many uses, including use in plastics and ceramics.
Serves as a coagulant in water treatment processes since it helps in the flocculation and sedimentation of suspended particles and impurities.
Serves in the clarification of industrial wastewater to meet the environmental standards.
Basic chromium sulphate is usually shipped in multi-layered paper bags or fibre drums with polyethylene liners. This packaging also provides protection to the product from being affected by moisture and contaminants during handling and storage.
