SKU: RXSOL-60-6605-496
Sodium Dichromate is an odorless, red or red-orange, crystalline (sand-like) solid. It is used as a corrosion inhibitor and to make other chemicals.
Application
Sodium dichromate is highly corrosive in nature and is a strong oxidizing agent. This substance is usually used to produce other chromium compounds but is also used for drilling muds, metal treatments, wood preservatives, production of dyes and organic chemicals, and as a corrosion inhibitor.
Dosage
Dichromate and chromate salts are oxidizing agents. For the tanning of leather, sodium dichromate is first reduced with sulfur dioxide. In the area of organic synthesis,[2] this compound oxidizes benzylic and allylic C-H bonds to carbonyl derivatives.
