Chromium Trichloride CAS 10025-73-7 is a kinetically inert transition metal halide chemically defined as anhydrous chromium(III) chloride , functioning primarily as a key precursor for trivalent chromium plating and organometallic catalysts. Distinguished by its vibrant violet crystalline appearance (in anhydrous form), this material acts as the source of chromium for eco-friendly "Trivalent Chrome" electroplating baths, replacing toxic hexavalent chromium systems. It is also extensively utilized as a Lewis acid catalyst in organic synthesis and as a mordant in the textile industry. We provide professional access to this material with competitive factory pricing and the ability to meet customized specifications (typically 99% purity micronized powder) for various manufacturing requirements. Our commitment to technical transparency ensures that every shipment is accompanied by comprehensive MSDS, TDS, COA documentation to support your quality assurance protocols, and we maintain capacity for consistent bulk supply to facilitate large-scale industrial operations.

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Does CAS 10025-73-7 apply to all forms of chromium trichloride?
A: No. CAS 10025-73-7 is generally associated with the anhydrous form of chromium trichloride, while hydrated forms have different CAS numbers and should be identified separately. -
Q:
Is Chromium Trichloride intended for industrial process use rather than laboratory-only applications?
A: It is commonly used as an industrial chemical raw material, particularly in electroplating bath systems and related inorganic process formulations.
