The role and advantages of chromium ore powder as a glass colorant

Function

Chromium ore powder mainly plays the role of a colorant in the glass manufacturing process. It can make the glass appear green. The main component of chromium ore powder is chromite, which contains oxides of chromium, iron, and magnesium. Among them, trivalent chromium (Cr2O3) is an important green mineral pigment. Natural chromium ore powder does not need to be chemically synthesized and can be used directly as a green pigment.

Advantages

Reduce production costs

As a natural mineral colorant, chromium ore powder can significantly reduce the cost of green or brown glass products compared to traditional chemical chromium green colorants

Environmental performance

Using chromium ore powder as a colorant can reduce dependence on chemical colorants, thereby reducing pollution to the environment

Saturated color and weather resistance
