Chromate Reagent 1

Overview

Chromate reagent 1 measure chromate, used as a corrosion inhibitor in older cooling water programmes and tightly controlled in discharge because of its toxicity. Where a legacy chromate programme is still running, the residual has to be held and the blowdown accounted for.

Key features

• Controls legacy chromate inhibitor programmes and their discharge
• Ready-made reagent, so there is no weighing or dilution on the bench
• Supplied in the 10 g size, item code PLpow10Chromate1

Frequently asked questions

Are chromate inhibitors still used?
Rarely, and only in closed systems, because of the toxicity and discharge restrictions. Where one is still in service the residual and the blowdown both need careful control.

Does this reagent work on its own?
Several photometric methods use two or three reagents in sequence. Check which components your method lists, and we will make sure the set is complete before it ships.

How should liquid reagents be stored?
Cool, dry and out of direct sunlight, with the cap firmly closed. Note the batch and expiry on the bottle, and work through the oldest stock first.
