POTASSIUM METACHROMATE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics
Potassium metachromate (K2CrO4) is a yellow, crystalline solid used in various industrial applications, including as an oxidizing agent in chemical synthesis, a corrosion inhibitor, and in the manufacture of pigments. It is 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 metachromate is valued for its strong oxidizing properties and its role in producing high-quality pigments and corrosion inhibitors, but its use requires strict adherence to safety protocols.
