Product Specifications

Potassium Dichromate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula K₂Cr₂O₇ and CAS Number 7778-50-9. It has a molecular weight of approximately 294.18 g/mol and is commonly supplied as bright orange-red crystalline powder or crystals. It is soluble in water and produces an orange-coloured aqueous solution.

Potassium Dichromate is valued for its strong oxidising properties and well-defined redox behaviour. Common laboratory applications include volumetric analysis, redox titration, preparation of standard solutions, analytical chemistry procedures, and research involving chromium-containing compounds. It is also used in specialised chemical testing and industrial processes.

Its chemical stability and oxidising characteristics make Potassium Dichromate useful in analytical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and laboratory research. The appropriate grade and purity should be selected according to the requirements of the intended application.

KSFE Malaysia supplies laboratory chemicals and scientific products for research institutions, educational facilities, and general laboratory applications.

Safety Note: Potassium Dichromate is a highly hazardous chemical and strong oxidising agent. It is toxic if swallowed, harmful in contact with skin, and may be fatal if inhaled. It can cause severe skin burns, serious eye damage, allergic skin reactions, and respiratory sensitisation. It is also classified as a carcinogen, mutagen, and reproductive toxicant. Avoid inhalation of dust and all direct contact with the substance. Handle in a properly functioning chemical fume hood using suitable chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, protective clothing, and other protective equipment specified by the supplier's SDS. Keep away from combustible materials, reducing agents, and incompatible substances. Store in a tightly closed, clearly labelled container in a designated, secure chemical storage area. Prevent environmental release and follow the supplier's Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for proper handling, storage, and disposal.
