Description

Chromium Tartrate is an inorganic coordination compound where chromium is complexed with tartaric acid ligands. This compound is valued for its role as a source of bioavailable chromium(III) and its utility in various catalytic and material synthesis processes. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the nutritional supplement, chemical synthesis, and industrial catalyst sectors for its specific chelated properties and stability.

Application

• As a source of trivalent chromium (Cr(III)) in mineral supplements and nutraceutical formulations.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of homogeneous catalysts for organic reactions.
• Raw material for producing specialized pigments and dyes.
• Component in electroplating baths and surface treatment solutions.
• Used in analytical chemistry as a reagent or standard.
• Research and development of novel coordination polymers and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
• Potential application in tanning processes within the leather industry.

Quality Control

Our Chromium Tartrate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, heavy metal content, and loss on drying are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
