Dichromate and chromate salts are oxidizing agents. For the tanning of leather, sodium dichromate is first reduced with sulfur dioxide. In the area of organic synthesis, the Sodium Dichromate, which we offer, oxidizes benzylic and allylic C-H bonds to carbonyl derivatives. Secondary alcohols are oxidized to the corresponding ketone, e.g. menthol to menthone; dihydrocholesterol to cholestanone: relative to the potassium salt, the main advantage of Sodium Dichromate is its greater solubility in water and polar solvents like acetic acid. Uses Of Sodium Dichromate :

• Source in preparing chromium based derivative
• Screen printing & Photographic engraving
• Electroplating
• Pyrotechnics and explosives
• Pigment preparation like chrome oxide green, lead chromate etc.
• Wood preservative for protection from termites and fungi
• Metal treating and corrosion inhibitor
• Oil well drilling as treating agents in drilling mud systems
• Catalyst for the chromium metal production
• As an oxidizing agent in organic synthesis
