Metallurgical grade
Manufactured using a unique process, our chromic oxide product is a high quality metallurgical grade.

When mixed with aluminium and potassium dichromate, using the alumino-thermic process, chromic oxide produces high purity chromium metal. This is a vital ingredient in the production of the high performance super-alloys used in the aerospace industry.

Pigment grade
Elementis Chromium produces the widest range of pigment grade chromic oxides on the market.

Compared to other green pigments, chromic oxide gives excellent light fastness, durability, stability and performance. It is also unaffected by acids, alkalis and solvents.

Key applications:

	chromic oxide is used in paints and coatings, plastics, enamels, concrete and other construction materials where colour strength is a key factor
	in the ceramic industry, it is mixed with metal oxides to produce pigments that vary in shade from black to yellow
	our hydrated product is used by the cosmetics and personal care industries to colour bar soaps and eye shadows
	we have even developed a dark green version with high infrared reflectance for use in camouflage coatings.
