The environmental friendliness of chrome oxide green pigment should be assessed holistically based on its composition, production processes, and compliance with standards.

Its primary constituent is chromium(III) oxide (Cr₂O₃), with the core chromium present in the trivalent form. In contrast to hexavalent chromium—known for its high toxicity and carcinogenicity—trivalent chromium exhibits significantly lower toxicity. It also boasts high chemical stability in natural environments, making it less prone to converting into harmful forms.

From the perspective of environmental compliance, chrome oxide green pigments that meet international and domestic standards (such as the EU’s REACH, RoHS, and China’s GB 18666) strictly limit levels of heavy metal impurities (e.g., lead, cadmium, mercury). Furthermore, when produced using clean manufacturing processes—such as minimizing wastewater and exhaust emissions—their environmental impact can be further reduced.

That said, a note of caution is warranted: as an inorganic pigment, inhalation of large amounts of its dust or improper disposal (e.g., indiscriminate dumping) may still cause localized harm to the human respiratory system, soil, or water bodies. Thus, “environmental friendliness” hinges on compliant production, proper usage, and appropriate recycling. In standard application scenarios (e.g., coatings, ceramics), qualified chrome oxide green pigments are generally recognized as one of the more environmentally friendly inorganic pigments.

VerdeChrome chrome oxide green pigments strive to deliver compliant products, with strict control over migration and compliance with applicable regulations. For instance, the MicroPowder™ series meets standards such as EN 71-3.

Certainly. VerdeChrome warmly welcomes your various requirements. We will work to match the appropriate products by examining aspects such as chemical composition, color difference, particle size, and particle morphology. If there is no fully matching product, we will also evaluate the possibility of custom production.

We have a complete system for product retention samples and sample traceability. We will retain product retention samples and sample traceability backups for 10 years, and we use consistent testing methods to ensure the accuracy of detection.
