chrome oxide green
Quick Summary
Chrome oxide green, also known as chromic oxide, is a pigment derived from chromium oxide (CrāOā). It is recognized as the most stable green pigment available.123
This pigment is produced through the thermal decomposition of most chromium compounds or by reducing sodium dichromate or sodium chromate. Chrome oxide green finds its primary use in coloring various materials, including roofing granules, cements, and plasters. It is also utilized as a fine powder for polishing applications.23
