Chromium No. 2 Powder Pillows

Overview

Chromium No. 2 powder pillows measure chromium, which appears in plating and tannery effluent and in cooling circuits still running older chromate inhibitors. Discharge consents treat it strictly, so the reading is usually a compliance figure.

Key features

• Reads chromium for effluent compliance and inhibitor control
• Pre-measured sachets, so nothing has to be weighed out on the bench
• Sealed individually, which keeps the reagent dry and the dose consistent
• Supplied in the 100-pillow pack, item code PPPChro2100

Frequently asked questions

Where does chromium in water usually come from?
Metal finishing and plating rinse water, tannery effluent, and older cooling water inhibitor programmes that used chromate.

Why use powder pillows instead of tablets?
A pillow is a pre-measured dose in a sealed sachet, so there is nothing to weigh out and no part-used tablet strip. Where a method is only offered in powder form, the pillow is what the instrument expects.

How should powder pillows be stored?
Keep them cool and dry in their sealed sachets, work through the oldest box first, and open a pillow only at the moment you dose the sample.
