Powerful Oxidizing PerformanceChromic acid's strong oxidizing capabilities make it indispensable for applications such as electroplating, laboratory analysis, and surface finishing. Its high reactivity ensures efficient metal treatment, helping achieve uniform coatings and effective cleaning.
Hazard Handling and StorageDue to its toxicity and corrosive nature, chromic acid must be stored in tightly sealed HDPE containers in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated location, strictly away from organic substances and combustibles. Reliable storage prolongs shelf life and minimizes hazardous incidents.
Environmental and Health PrecautionsAs a substance classified under UN 1755, Class 6.1 (Toxic), chromic acid is dangerous to both humans and the environment, especially aquatic ecosystems. Immediate medical attention is mandatory in case of contact or ingestion to prevent severe injury.
FAQ's of Chromic Acid:
Q: How should chromic acid be stored to maintain its stability and safety?
A: Chromic acid must be stored in tightly closed HDPE drums or bottles, kept in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from organic materials and flammable substances to ensure stability and minimize decomposition or accidental reactions.
Q: What is chromic acid mainly used for?
A: Chromic acid is primarily used for electroplating, metal finishing, wood preservation, and as a reagent in laboratory processes, due to its strong oxidizing properties and effectiveness in surface treatment.
Q: When is immediate medical attention necessary for chromic acid exposure?
A: Immediate medical attention is required if chromic acid comes into contact with skin, eyes, or is ingested, as it is highly corrosive and toxic, which can result in severe chemical burns or systemic poisoning.
Q: Where should chromic acid not be stored or used?
A: Chromic acid should never be stored or used near organic materials, combustibles, or in poorly ventilated areas, as it reacts violently and poses significant fire, explosion, and health hazards.
Q: What are the environmental hazards associated with chromic acid?
A: Chromic acid is highly toxic to aquatic life and acts as a significant environmental pollutant if released into waterways. Proper containment is crucial to prevent ecological harm.
Q: How long is the shelf life of chromic acid under recommended storage conditions?
A: When stored properly in recommended containers and environments, chromic acid generally has a shelf life of 12 to 24 months before significant decomposition may occur.
