Strontium chromate is an inorganic compound with the formula SrCrO
4.
Preparation
Strontium chromate is prepared from strontium chloride and sodium chromate, or from strontium carbonate and sodium dichromate.[citation needed]
Uses
- Corrosion inhibitor in pigments.
- In electrochemical processes to control sulfate concentration of solutions.
- Colorant in polyvinyl chloride resins.
- Pyrotechnics.[4]
- Aluminium flake coatings.
- As an anti-corrosive primer for zinc, magnesium, aluminium, and alloys used in aircraft manufacture.
- As a pigment used in oil painting named strontium yellow.[4]
Health hazards
Strontium chromate is a toxic and carcinogenic compound, primarily due to its hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) content. It is classified as a Group 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) which indicates that it is considered to be proven to cause cancer in humans, particularly lung cancer.[5][6]
