3. Physical & Chemical Properties
Chromium(III) Acetate is a trivalent chromium compound used as a chromium source in industrial formulations, polymer systems and chemical synthesis.
Dongzheng Chromium Acetate is supplied as a fine green powder with controlled particle size and impurity levels. At least 90% of the product passes through a 200-mesh sieve according to the current product specification.
The chromium is present in the +3 oxidation state, making Chromium Acetate suitable for applications requiring a trivalent chromium source.
Its high assay, controlled chromium content and fine particle size support consistent performance in industrial applications such as polymer gel crosslinking, catalyst preparation and chemical processing.
4. Applications
Oilfield & Petroleum Production
Chromium Acetate is widely used as a crosslinking agent in polymer gel systems for oilfield applications.
The Cr³⁺ ions supplied by Chromium Acetate can react with carboxyl groups in partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) and other suitable polymers to form a three-dimensional crosslinked gel network.
These chromium-crosslinked polymer systems can be used in applications such as:
Water shutoff
Conformance control
Profile modification
Fracture plugging
Lost circulation control
Enhanced oil recovery support
Chromium Acetate is valued in oilfield polymer systems because it can provide an effective trivalent chromium source for controlled gel formation.
Gelation behavior depends on factors such as polymer type, chromium concentration, temperature, salinity, pH and reservoir conditions. Product grade and dosage should therefore be selected according to the customer's specific formulation and field conditions.
Catalyst Preparation
Chromium(III) Acetate can be used as a chromium precursor or intermediate in the preparation of chromium-containing catalysts.
Its controlled chromium content and fine powder form make it suitable for selected catalyst manufacturing, impregnation and chemical synthesis processes.
Metal Surface Treatment
Chromium Acetate can also be used as a trivalent chromium source in selected metal surface treatment formulations and related chemical treatment processes.
The appropriate specification and dosage depend on the treatment chemistry, substrate and required surface performance.
Chemical Synthesis
Chromium Acetate can be used as a starting material or intermediate in the production of other chromium compounds and in selected organic or inorganic synthesis processes.
Specialty Industrial Applications
Chromium Acetate may also be used in selected coatings, functional materials and other specialty formulations requiring a stable trivalent chromium source.
Application suitability should be confirmed according to the customer's process and technical requirements.
