Potassium Dichromate, is a common inorganic chemical reagent, most commonly used as an oxidizing agent in various laboratory and industrial applications. As with all hexavalent chromium compounds. It is potentially harmful to health and must be handled and disposed of appropriately. It is a crystalline ionic solid with a very bright, red-orange color.

Application of Potassium Dichromate:
Chromium source in preparing chromium compounds
Leather tanning and screen printing
Electroplating
Pigment preparation
Wood preservative
Metal treating and corrosion inhibitor
Oil drilling & silver testing
Catalyst for the chromium metal production
Photographic engraving
Preparation of "chromic acid", which can be used for etching materials


Storage & Handling Conditions:

Store in cool and dry place.
Keep away from sunlight and heat sources.
Protect against physical damage.
Store in a dry location separate from combustible, organic or other readily oxidizable materials.
Avoid storage on wood floors.
Remove and dispose of any spilled dichromate; do not return to original containers.
