Storage & Handling
The anhydrous Sodium Dichromate has the formula Na₂Cr₂O₇, CAS Number 10588-01-9, and molecular weight 261.97 g/mol. The commonly supplied dihydrate has CAS Number 7789-12-0. Because the molecular weight differs with hydration state, the exact form should be specified on your product datasheet.
Store Sodium Dichromate in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from combustible materials, reducing agents, organic materials, and other incompatible substances. Keep the container tightly closed when not in use and protect the product from contamination.
Sodium Dichromate is a strong oxidizing material, so appropriate segregation and storage controls must be maintained. Follow the storage conditions specified in the applicable Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
Safety Information
Sodium Dichromate is a highly hazardous Chromium(VI) compound and requires strict handling controls. It is classified as an oxidizer and is associated with acute toxicity, severe skin and eye hazards, respiratory sensitization, genetic toxicity, carcinogenicity, reproductive toxicity, and significant aquatic toxicity under applicable GHS classifications.
Use appropriate chemical-resistant gloves, protective clothing, eye/face protection, suitable respiratory protection where dust exposure may occur, and effective engineering controls. Avoid inhalation, ingestion, and contact with skin or eyes. Keep away from combustible and organic materials.
Prevent release into the environment and handle the product in accordance with applicable workplace safety regulations. Always refer to the latest Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and applicable local regulations before handling, storing, transporting, or using the product.
