    Ferrous Sulfate 7-hydrate for Cement Industry

    Minimizing hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) content is a critical objective in cement manufacturing due to its impact on health, safety, and environmental (HSE) standards. Ferrous Sulfate Heptahydrate facilitates as a chromate reducing agent the chemical conversion of Cr(VI) into its less harmful trivalent form (Cr(III)), effectively reducing HSE risks. With Lohtragon® V04, you achieve superior workplace safety without altering the technical properties of cement. Apply Ferrous Sulfate 7-hydrate in construction chemicals for:

    • Effective converting of toxic hexavalent Chromium compounds (Cr(VI)) into non-toxic trivalent Chromium (Cr(III))
    • Significantly improved HSE aspects, while keeping the technical properties of the cement unchanged
