CAS 10025-73-7: Chromium(III) chloride

Chromium(III) chloride, anhydrous, 99%

The vapor-phase co-reductions with other metal halides by hydrogen results in finely divided intermetallics with applications as structural materials or compounds with useful thermoelectric, magnetic, and oxidation-resistance properties. It is used as a catalyst, for organic synthesis, for manufacturing dyes. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio.

Chromium(III) chloride is an inorganic compound that is a redox potential, which means it can be reduced to the +4 oxidation state by electron donors and oxidized to the +6 oxidation state by electron acceptors. Chromium(III) chloride has been shown to have carcinogenic effects in animals when given at high doses over a long time period. It is not known whether chromium(III) chloride causes cancer in humans. The carcinogenic activity of chromium(III) chloride has been demonstrated in bioassays conducted on animals. Chromic (III) chloride is used as a molybdenum source in animal feed and as a dietary supplement for humans. It also occurs naturally in soil, rocks, and water supplies.

Chromium chloride and chromium sulfate have been used as dietary supplements. Chromium(III) chloride and chromium(III) sulfate can be used in the manufacture of food for particular nutritional uses and in food supplements. It is found in miscellaneous applications, such as catalysts, hardeners, mordents, crosslinking and binding agents. It is used to make very pure chromium and other chromium compounds, as a mordant in dyeing cotton, and in chromizing metals. It is too used for trivalent electroplating .
