Basic Chrome
Whatsapp Order
Basic Chrome Sulfate, commonly referred to as Basic Chrome, is a chromium-based chemical compound primarily used in the leather tanning industry. It appears as a greenish crystalline powder and contains chromium(III) sulfate complexed with basic chromium salts. Basic Chrome is favored for its ability to produce soft, flexible, and durable leather by crosslinking collagen fibers. It is the most widely used tanning agent worldwide due to its effectiveness and cost-efficiency. Besides tanning, Basic Chrome finds applications in other industries like pigments and catalysts.
