What is Potassium Chromate?

Potassium chromate is an inorganic chemical compound. Its formula is K2CrO4. It is a yellow-colored soluble crystalline powder in appearance. It is used within chemical laboratories as an analytical reagent, as an oxidizing agent and as an indicator. It is used to produce other chromium compounds, in the textile and dye industry, as a metal treatment agent, and as a corrosion inhibitor. Potassium chromate is used in analytic chemistry, in redox titration, and in chloride ion determination assays based on the Mohr method. Although potassium chromate has industrial worth, its hazardous characteristics are derived from its possession of the powerful toxic and carcinogenic hexavalent chromium (Cr⁶⁺) species that can possibly harm humans and the environment, thus requiring careful monitoring and treatment of its production, use, and disposal. Despite its attractive coloring and utility in various chemical applications, there is a growing recognition of the need to find less toxic, more environmentally-friendly substitutes as well as closed-loop production and usage of potassium chromate and its associated chemicals in industry.

What is driving the Potassium Chromate Production Market?

The potassium chromate market is driven by growth in application areas such as pigments, metal finishing chemicals, and laboratory chemicals. The demand for potassium chromate in metal surface treatment and corrosion-resistant coating applications is driven by the growth of manufacturing and automotive industries. Chromates are also used as fixing agents and oxidizing agents in the textile and dye industries. Environmental regulations are limiting the emissions of hexavalent chromium. In order to comply with regulations, manufacturers have adopted closed loop production processes and green alternatives to chromates. Major business strategies in this market include technological advancements and backward integration for raw material supply chain management. Partnerships with the downstream industry further help secure supply chains. The manufacturers are also investing in research to produce safer products and comply with international standards of environmental sustainability. These developing countries in the Asia-Pacific region are increasingly the primary manufacturing location because of industrial policies whereby manufacturing costs have been reduced.
