Chromium(III) Chloride Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Chromic Chloride
- CrCl3
Chromium chloride supplier in Malaysia for metal finishing, chemical manufacture, electronic materials, pigments, textiles and laboratory use. This page covers Chromium(III) chloride, also called chromic chloride or CrCl3, with the trivalent chromium identity stated explicitly.
Commercial requirements include anhydrous material, exact hydrated forms, metal-finishing grades and reagent or precursor grades. Violet, red-violet or green appearance can depend on hydration and coordination form, so the quoted product should state its hydration, assay or chromium basis, moisture and relevant impurity controls.
Chromium(III) chloride is not the same chemical identity as chromium(VI) compounds. Solutions require a declared concentration and composition, while finished plating baths contain other salts and additives and must be specified as complete formulations rather than as raw Chromium(III) chloride.
Send the required anhydrous or hydrated form, grade, target specification, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation, delivery route and timing are confirmed with the quotation.
- Grade
- anhydrous, hydrated, metal-finishing, reagent and precursor
- Appearance
- violet, red-violet or green crystalline material or powder, depending on hydration and coordination form
Chromium(III) Chloride grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Anhydrous Chromium(III) chloride | crystalline solid or powder on a declared anhydrous basis | — | Chemical synthesis, materials processing and laboratory work requiring the anhydrous identity, chromium basis and controlled moisture specification. | Moisture-protective packing is confirmed with the quotation. |
| Hydrated Chromium(III) chloride | crystalline material with hydration state declared | — | Formulation and processing where the exact hydrate, assay basis, appearance and impurity profile are defined by the buyer. | Hydration basis and protective packing are confirmed for the quoted grade. |
| Metal-finishing grade Chromium(III) chloride | solid raw material or separately declared solution | — | Trivalent chromium plating and metal-finishing formulations where concentration, hydration, impurities and complete bath composition are controlled by the formulator. | Physical form and liquid or solid packing are confirmed with the quotation. |
| Reagent and precursor grade Chromium(III) chloride | identity-controlled crystalline solid | — | Laboratory, catalyst, pigment, electronic-material and chemical precursor work where purity, hydration state and trace impurities are specified. | Laboratory or process pack format and documents are confirmed with the quotation. |

Common questions about Chromium(III) chloride
What does Chromium(III) mean in Chromium(III) chloride?
It states that chromium is in the trivalent Cr(III) oxidation state. This identity distinction matters when selecting a chromium compound for a process.
Is Chromium(III) chloride the same as a chromium(VI) compound?
No. Cr(III) and Cr(VI) denote different oxidation states and chemical identities. They must not be treated as equivalent materials.
What is the difference between anhydrous and hydrated Chromium(III) chloride?
The hydrated form contains associated water and therefore has a different composition and assay basis. State the exact hydration form required.
Does this page cover Chromium(III) chloride solution?
A solution may be quoted as a separately declared form. Its concentration, solvent or water basis, impurities and complete composition must be specified.
Is a finished trivalent chromium plating bath the same product?
No. A plating bath contains Chromium(III) chloride with other salts and additives and requires a full formulation specification.
Which specifications matter when buying chromic chloride?
Provide oxidation state, anhydrous or exact hydrate basis, assay or chromium basis, appearance, moisture, insolubles, trace-impurity limits and application.
What details are needed for a Chromium chloride quotation in Malaysia?
Send the Cr(III) identity, hydration and purity basis, physical form, target specification, quantity, delivery location and required documents.
