Chromium is steel grey colored chemical element with high melting point. This metal is highly recognized for its high corrosion resistance capability. Natural occurrence of chromium is rare and hence, most of its compounds are manufactured. Stainless steel, an alloy of steel and chromium is highly corrosion and discoloration resistance is one of the highly used metals accounting for nearly 85% of the commercial use. Owing to the increasing applications of chromium and its compounds, chromium salt market is expected to show tremendous growth in near future. Chromium salts are highly used in applications including pigment of textile, paints, inks, plastics, corrosion inhibitors, wood preservatives, metal finishing, chrome plating and leather tanning.
