CORROSION with

CHROMIUM CHEMICALS

Corrosion resulting from quiescent or re­circulating water, or brine, can generally be stopped effectively and economically by the addition of Chromium Chemicals. This treat­ment prolongs the life of exposed metal surfaces indefinitely at small cost.

The files of our Research Department con­tain references to the use of Chromâtes as corrosion inhibitors in many widely diversified industries.
