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 supplied only for authorised analytical, chemistry and research laboratories whose approved method specifically requires chromic acid, and only for trained staff. Science Lab Supplies arranges supply from Ambala, India to universities, analytical labs, stockrooms, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Chromic acid may be offered as a solid or as a solution, and form and concentration change both its hazards and its labelling. Values below are the common references; the label of your batch 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. Institutions order it when a written analytical or research method names chromic acid and the laboratory already has fume extraction, 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, eye and face protection and a lab coat, plus any respirator the Safety Data Sheet specifies. Keep it away from combustible, organic and reducing materials, 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. It is not supplied for casual cleaning, food, cosmetic, agricultural or unauthorised industrial use.
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. Raise an enquiry from the contact page or the enquiry cart; the lab tender page covers institutional bids.
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?
Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India supplies it to authorised institutions and distributors, with a hazard-labelled container and the Safety Data Sheet for each batch.
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.
Related Controlled Laboratory Reagents
Laboratories that hold chromic acid usually manage a small set of other controlled chemicals and a milder chromium salt for comparison. These four from the Lab Chemicals range belong to the same restricted cabinet or the same chromium topic.
- Potassium Dichromate — chromium(VI) oxidising reagent for trained labs.
- Chromium Sulphate Lab — chromium(III) sulphate salt.
- Mercuric Chloride — highly toxic mercury(II) chloride for authorised labs.
