Chromium trifluoride

Chromium trifluoride (CAS 7788-97-8 ), also known as chromium fluoride, is an inorganic chromium salt used industrially as a catalyst and surface treatment agent. It supports corrosion-inhibiting processes and catalytic reactions across metal finishing, polymer, and textile manufacturing operations.

In metal finishing and mining operations, it functions as a component in surface treatment baths where chromium deposition and corrosion protection are required. Polymer and plastics processors use it as a catalyst in fluorination reactions and halogenated compound synthesis.

In textile and leather processing, it contributes to mordanting and dyeing operations, improving dye fixation and fabric durability. Paper manufacturing operations employ it in specialty coating and treatment formulations requiring controlled chromium chemistry.

Chromium trifluoride is supplied as a crystalline powder or anhydrous solid, with hydrated forms also available depending on process requirements. Technical grade is the standard commercial offering, with purity specifications typically ranging from 98% upward.

Packaging is available in drum and bulk quantities suited to industrial procurement volumes. The material is handled according to strict industrial safety protocols to ensure stability and performance in diverse chemical manufacturing environments.
