POTASSIUM CHROMATES Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Potassium chromates refer to the compounds potassium chromate (K2CrO4) and potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7), which are used in various industrial applications. They serve as oxidizing agents in chemical synthesis, corrosion inhibitors, and in the manufacture of pigments. These compounds are highly toxic and carcinogenic, posing significant health hazards upon contact or inhalation. Proper handling requires the use of comprehensive protective equipment, including gloves, goggles, and respirators, as well as working in a well-ventilated area. Storage should be in tightly sealed containers, away from incompatible substances like reducing agents. Disposal must follow stringent environmental regulations to prevent contamination. Potassium chromates are valued for their strong oxidizing properties and their role in producing high-quality pigments and corrosion inhibitors, but their use requires strict adherence to safety protocols.
