Chrome Oxide Green

Chrome Oxide Green

Also known as Chromium (III) Oxide, it is used as an inorganic pigment in paints, architectural coatings, plastics, roofing tiles and ceramic tiles. Chrome Oxide Green is also used in heavy-duty applications in the construction of high temperature and abrasion-resistant refractory brick for glass and fiberglass. High purity grade chrome oxide is used in the manufacturing of chromium metal.
