Product Code : SCL-LC-12189
Chromic Acid Lab Reagent (SKU SCL-LC-12189) is a restricted chromium(VI) chemical, commonly represented as H2CrO4, that is corrosive, oxidising and linked to the carcinogenic hazards of hexavalent chromium. It is intended only for authorised analytical, chemistry and research laboratories whose approved method specifically requires chromic acid, and only for trained staff. Universities, analytical labs, stockrooms, tender contractors and distributors can obtain it from Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India.
Specifications
Identity, hazard class and storage controls for this hexavalent chromium reagent are tabulated below. In short, chromic acid may come as a solid or a solution, and its form and concentration change both its hazards and its labelling; the batch label states the concentration or form, grade and pack size, and the Safety Data Sheet confirms the CAS number.

Applications and Experiments for Chromic Acid
This is a controlled reagent for specialist work, not a classroom chemical. It should be ordered only when a written analytical or research method names chromic acid and the laboratory already has ventilation, exposure controls, protective equipment, restricted storage and a disposal route for chromium(VI) waste.
- Authorised analytical chemistry procedures in which chromic acid is specified.
- Controlled chromium(VI) chemistry and research work in approved university laboratories.
- Training staff in hazard communication, restricted storage and chromium(VI) waste management.
Safety: wear chemical-resistant Gloves Protective, eye and face protection such as anti-fog Safety Glasses, and a lab coat, plus any respirator the Safety Data Sheet specifies. Dispense the minimum quantity, use secondary containment, and collect all residues and rinsings as chromium(VI) hazardous waste.
Standard Scope of Supply
Delivered as a closed, compatible container labelled with batch, concentration or form, and hazard information, with the current Safety Data Sheet and tamper-sealed outer packaging carrying the export documents. Protective equipment for the restricted cabinet can be quoted on the same document.
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
State the quantity your method needs, including a single container, and the quotation will list packing, delivery time and price for it. Restricted chemicals can be quoted together with the rest of a laboratory chemicals order, with the packing for each hazardous item shown.
Science Lab Supplies has an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda and the UAE where the dangerous-goods and import rules for chromium(VI) chemicals allow. Share the approved method and the amount required on the contact page, place the reagent in the enquiry cart with your restricted list, or follow the lab tender page for an institutional bid.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can chromic acid be used in schools?
It is not suitable for routine school demonstrations. Only institutions with trained staff, Safety Data Sheet controls, restricted storage and hazardous-waste procedures should hold it.
Why is chromic acid classed as high hazard?
It is corrosive and oxidising, and as a hexavalent chromium compound it carries carcinogenic hazards. Exposure by inhalation, skin or eye contact and ingestion must all be prevented.
Who supplies the Chromic Acid Lab Reagent?
Only authorised institutions and distributors are quoted for it by Science Lab Supplies, Ambala, India; each batch ships in a hazard-labelled, compatible container with its current Safety Data Sheet.
How should it be stored?
Tightly closed in a labelled, compatible container with secondary containment, in restricted storage away from combustible, organic and reducing materials, with the Safety Data Sheet kept nearby.
