Chromic Acid Flakes
Chromic Acid Flakes
Chromic Acid Flakes are a commercial form of Chromium Trioxide (CrO₃), also known as Chromic Anhydride or Chromium(VI) Oxide. Chromium Trioxide is a powerful oxidizing and highly corrosive inorganic compound widely used in chromium plating, metal surface treatment, chemical processing, and specialty industrial applications. It is typically supplied as dark red to purplish-red crystalline flakes or solid. (pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)
Our Chromic Acid Flakes are supplied under controlled quality standards to provide consistent chromium content, purity, and reliable performance for industrial and surface-treatment applications.

Storage & Handling
Store Chromic Acid Flakes in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from combustible materials, reducing agents, organic materials, and other incompatible substances. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use and protect the product from contamination.
Because Chromium Trioxide is a strong oxidizer, appropriate storage controls and segregation requirements should be followed. Always follow the storage conditions specified in the applicable Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
Safety Information
Chromic Acid Flakes (Chromium Trioxide) are highly hazardous and require strict industrial controls. Chromium Trioxide contains hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] and is a powerful oxidizing and corrosive substance. PubChem identifies it as highly toxic and a confirmed human carcinogen. (pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)
ECHA identifies Chromium Trioxide as meeting the criteria for Carcinogenic Category 1A and Mutagenic Category 1B under the EU REACH framework. It is also subject to authorization requirements for certain uses in the EU. (echa.europa.eu)
Use appropriate chemical-resistant gloves, protective clothing, eye/face protection, suitable respiratory protection, and effective engineering controls. Avoid inhalation, ingestion, skin contact, and eye contact. Keep away from combustible and organic materials.
Always refer to the latest Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and applicable local regulations before handling, storing, transporting, or using the product.
