Pure Potassium Dichromate Reagent Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-CA-12667

The Potassium Dichromate Reagent is a high-hazard chromium(VI) oxidizing salt used for staff-controlled redox chemistry, qualitative demonstrations, oxidizer-safety training, and authorised chemical-analysis procedures. It is suitable only for trained chemistry staff, authorised laboratory technicians, institutional reagent stores, and procurement teams requiring verified SDS, COA, restricted handling, and chromium(VI) waste control.

Product Description

Potassium Dichromate Reagent from School Equipments India is positioned for the laboratory chemicals, chemical-analysis reagents, and inorganic oxidizer reagents category. A direct verified product page for this exact chemical was not found, so grade, assay, crystal size, pack size, container type, SDS, COA, batch number, and expiry or retest date must be confirmed before catalogue upload or ordering.

Potassium dichromate has the formula K₂Cr₂O₇ and. It is a chromium(VI) compound and must not be treated as a general classroom reagent. Use should be restricted to trained personnel with PPE, ventilation, oxidizer segregation, and approved hazardous-waste procedures.

Key Features

• Chromium(VI) oxidizer: suitable only for approved procedures where potassium dichromate is specifically required.
• Formula K₂Cr₂O₇: useful for redox equations, equivalent-weight discussion, and analytical chemistry documentation.
• Orange-red crystalline form: supports controlled identification and staff-led demonstration work.
• Strong oxidizing behaviour: must be separated from combustibles, reducers, organic materials, and incompatible chemicals.
• Carcinogenic chromium(VI) hazard: requires restricted access, exposure prevention, and dedicated waste collection.
• Procurement-safe listing: unverified pack size, grade, assay, and documents are marked for confirmation.

How to Use the Potassium Dichromate

1. Read the current SDS, COA, product label, institutional SOP, and risk assessment before use.
2. Confirm grade, assay, crystal form, and method suitability before dispensing.
3. Work only in an approved controlled area with ventilation and restricted access.
4. Wear chemical splash goggles, compatible gloves, lab coat, and any SDS-specified respiratory or face protection.
5. Use clean, dry tools and take only the quantity required by the authorised procedure.
6. Avoid dust formation during transfer, weighing, solution preparation, and cleanup.
7. Keep away from organic materials, reducing agents, combustibles, strong acids, heat, and incompatible chemicals.
8. Collect all residues, contaminated tools, and solutions as chromium(VI)-containing hazardous waste.

Safety note: Potassium dichromate is a toxic, corrosive, carcinogenic chromium(VI) oxidizer. It must not be handled by students or untrained users, and it must never be discarded into normal drains.

Care & Maintenance

• Store tightly closed in a dry, labelled, oxidizer-compatible chemical-storage area.
• Keep away from combustible materials, reducing agents, organic chemicals, acids, food items, and unauthorised users.
• Use dedicated or thoroughly cleaned dry tools to prevent contamination and unintended reactions.
• Dispose of contaminated, unlabelled, expired, or spilled material through approved chromium(VI) hazardous-waste procedures.
