SODIUM BICHROMATE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Sodium Bichromate, also known as sodium dichromate (Na2Cr2O7), is a red-orange crystalline compound used in various industrial and chemical applications. It is primarily employed as an oxidizing agent in the synthesis of organic compounds and as a corrosion inhibitor in metal finishing processes. Sodium Bichromate is also used in the production of pigments, dyes, and inks, providing vibrant and long-lasting colors. In the leather industry, it is used in the tanning process to enhance the durability and appearance of leather products. Proper handling and storage of Sodium Bichromate are essential to prevent accidents and ensure safety, as it is highly toxic and can pose significant health risks if ingested or inhaled. Proper safety measures, including the use of appropriate protective equipment and adherence to handling protocols, are essential when working with Sodium Bichromate. Its effectiveness as an oxidizing agent and corrosion inhibitor makes it a valuable chemical in various applications, although its use requires careful control to prevent hazards.
