CHROME PIGMENT is mostly generated from lead compounds and has features such as strong colour strength, high solubility, high concentration, and non-reactivity, making it suitable for use in polishes, paints and coatings, rubber, plastics, inks, ceramics, detergents and soaps, etc. Chrome pigments need the use of a vast number of minerals in their production. They are manufactured industrially by precipitating lead salts with chromate or bichromate solution; however, toxic heavy metals such as lead are acquired as a waste or by-product. The CHROME PIGMENT market is segmented into lemon chrome pigment, light yellow chrome pigment, primrose chrome pigment, middle chrome pigment and scarlet chrome pigment.
