Description :

Overview of Chrome Alum

Chrome Alum is an industrial double salt that is widely employed in manufacturing processes where it is possible to control the amount of chromium, its mordant activity, and solid chemical performance are essential. It is usually sold as a crystalline product and is recognised for its distinctive chrome alum hue, which typically appears as deep purple to violet crystals. Chrome Alum is valued in industrial processes due to its constant solubility, stable reaction control, and stability in formulation and treatment applications.

Chrome alum structure is based on a double sulfate system containing chromium and potassium, making it suitable for industrial applications where controlled chromium-based functionality is needed.

Applications of Chrome Alum

Textile & Leather Processing

Chrome Alum is widely used in textile and leather processing where it supports fixation, tanning action, and improved treatment performance. It helps maintain consistent processing results and stable output quality in industrial operations. It is often used with Chromium Sulphate depending on processing requirements.

Dyes & Pigment Processing

Chrome Alum is used in dyeing and pigment processing where mordant action and colour fixation are required. It supports consistent shade performance and improved durability in industrial dye applications. It may be handled with Chromium Oxide depending on formulation needs.

Water Treatment & Industrial Utilities

Chrome Alum is used in certain industrial water treatment processes where coagulation support and controlled treatment behaviour are required. It supports stable dosing and consistent operational performance. It may be used with Aluminium Sulphate Anhydrous depending on water treatment requirements.

Chemical Manufacturing & Intermediate Applications

Chrome Alum is also used in chemical manufacturing where chromium-based processing support and stable reaction behaviour are required. It supports controlled manufacturing steps and consistent industrial output.

Surface Treatment & Specialty Industrial Formulations

Chrome Alum is used in specialty industrial formulations where controlled chromium-based chemical performance is required for treatment, fixation, or process support applications.
