Description

Chromium(3+) Palmitate is a coordination complex where trivalent chromium ions are bound to palmitate anions. This compound is valued for its role as a source of bioavailable chromium(III) in various industrial and nutritional applications. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the animal feed, nutritional supplement, and specialty chemical sectors where a stable, lipid-soluble chromium source is required.

Application

• As a trace mineral source in premixes for animal feed and pet nutrition.
• An active ingredient in nutritional and dietary supplements for human consumption.
• A catalyst or reagent in specialty organic synthesis and polymerization processes.
• A component in the formulation of industrial lubricants and greases.
• Used in cosmetic and personal care formulations for its potential skin benefits.
• As a stabilizer or modifier in polymer and plastic production.
