Sodium Dichromate Market - Global Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2014 – 2020

Sodium dichromate is the most important chromium compound that is used industrially, Sodium dichromate is the beginning material for any chromium compounds in manufactured synthetically. The compound, either directly or indirectly acts as an intermediate step for these chromium compounds used industrially. The demand for chromium compounds had witnessed gradual erosion owing to the environmental threats of chromium. However the demand has recently improved owing to huge demand from the Asia Pacific countries. The compound’s indispensability in manufacturing of different chromium containing compounds augurs well for the sodium dichromate market.

Apart from its use as a chemical intermediate sodium dichromate also has a host of direct applications, where it is used to manufacture different chemicals. One of the most notable direct uses of sodium dichromate is in the metal finishing industry. The chemical helps the metal surface to resist corrosion. It aids the cleaning of metal surfaces and promotes paint adhesion to metals. It is used extensively in the automotive and aeronautics industries for this purpose. Another direct use of sodium dichromate is in the production of organic products such as vitamin K and wax. This is a relatively small application area for the chemical and it is used in the capacity of an oxidizing agent in the manufacturing process. Most of the volume demand for sodium dichromate is derived from industries where the compound is used as an intermediate to manufacture other chromium containing chemicals. One of the most notable applications of sodium dichromate is the production of chromium oxide which is extensively used to manufacture pigments.

Chromate pigments have the capacity to produce a range of light stable colors. Some grades of sodium dichromate are also used as corrosion inhibitors in undercoats and primers. It finds...
