Chromium nitrate is a crystalline substance, variously stated to be green brown or purple and existing in various hydrated forms.

Chromium nitrate is used in the preparation of chrome catalysts, in textile printing operations; and as a corrosion inhibitor. Used to make other chemicals.

If chromium nitrate gets into the eyes, remove any contact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek Medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts the skin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediately with soap and water. Seek medical attention immediately.
