Chromium is a hard, lustrous, steel-gray metal found primarily in the mineral chromite (FeCr₂O₄). It makes up about 0.01% of the Earth’s crust and is valued for its exceptional corrosion resistance, hardness, and ability to form stable compounds. Chromium is essential in the metallurgy, stainless steel, electroplating, pigment, leather tanning, and chemical industries. We’re a trusted distributor of chromium-based salts and oxides, providing a full portfolio of high-performance products for industrial and technological applications.

Chromium Oxide is a highly insoluble thermally stable Chromium source suitable for glass, optic and ceramic applications. Chromium oxide is a green, hygroscopic solid found in nature as the rare mineral eskolaite. Oxide compounds are not conductive to electricity. However, certain perovskite structured oxides are electronically conductive finding application in the cathode of solid oxide fuel cells and oxygen generation systems. They are compounds containing at least one oxygen anion and one metallic cation. They are typically insoluble in aqueous solutions (water) and extremely stable making them useful in ceramic structures as simple as producing clay bowls to advanced electronics and in light weight structural components in aerospace and electrochemical applicatioHigh Purity (99.999%) Chromium Oxide (Cr2O3) Powderns such as fuel cells in which they exhibit ionic conductivity. Metal oxide compounds are basic anhydrides and can therefore react with acids and with strong reducing agents in redox reactions. Chromium Oxide is also available in pellets, pieces, powder, sputtering targets, tablets, and nanopowder (from Venice Chemicals' nanoscale production facilities). Chromium Oxide is generally immediately available in most volumes. High purity, submicron and nanopowder forms may be considered. Additional technical, research and safety (Venice Chemicals) information is available. Chemical Formula : Cr2O3 CAS No. : 1308-38-9 Appearance : Green powder or crystals
Chromic acid generally refers to a collection of compounds generated by the acidification of solutions containing chromate and dichromate anions or the dissolving of chromium trioxide in sulfuric acid. Chromic acid contains hexavalent chromium. Hexavalent chromium refers to chromium in the +6 oxidation state, and is more toxic than other oxidation states of the chromium atom because of its greater ability to enter cells and a higher redox potential.Molecular chromic acid, H2CrO4, has much in common with sulfuric acid, H2SO4 as both are classified as strong acids. Chromic acid was widely used in the instrument repair industry, due to its ability to "brighten" raw brass. A chromic acid dip leaves behind a bright yellow patina on the brass. Due to growing health and environmental concerns, many have discontinued use of this chemical in their repair shops. Most chromic acid sold or available as a 10% aqueous solution. Chemical Formula : H2CrO4 CAS No. : 7738-94-5 Appearance : Dark purplish-red sand-like crystalline solid or powder
Chromium Acetate is a moderately water soluble crystalline Chromium source that decomposes to Chromium oxide on heating. It is generally immediately available in most volumes. All metallic acetates are inorganic salts containing a metal cation and the acetate anion, a univalent (-1 charge) polyatomic ion composed of two carbon atoms ionically bound to three hydrogen and two oxygen atoms (Symbol: CH3COO) for a total formula weight of 59.05. Acetates are excellent precursors for production of ultra high purity compounds, catalysts, and nanoscale materials.We also produce Chromium Acetate Solution. Venice Chemicals produces to many standard grades when applicable, including Mil Spec (military grade); ACS, Reagent and Technical Grade; Food, Agricultural and Pharmaceutical Grade; Optical Grade, USP and EP/BP (European Pharmacopoeia/British Pharmacopoeia)and follows applicable ASTM testing standards.

Chromium Chloride is an excellent water soluble crystalline Chromium source for uses compatible with chlorides. Chloride compounds can conduct electricity when fused or dissolved in water. Chloride materials can be decomposed by electrolysis to chlorine gas and the metal. They are formed through various chlorination processes whereby at least one chlorine anion (Cl-) is covalently bonded to the relevant metal or cation. Ultra high purity and proprietary formulations can be prepared. The chloride ion controls fluid equilibrium and pH levels in metabolic systems. They can form either inorganic or organic compounds. Chromium Chloride is generally immediately available in most volumes. High purity, submicron and nanopowder forms may be considered. We also produce Chromium Chloride Solution.
