    Chromium for tanning

    Hi everyone, does anyone know where I can source chromium for tanning - not the leader kit. I am looking for around 20kgs. Have been on chemical supply sites and it's all very small quantity at a high price.
    Any info would be awesome!
    Cheers

    Try an electroplater they buy bulk chromate and other things that are useful but hard to obtain for Joe public.

    We used to get it in 1Kg containers and yeah was pretty pricey. That was Chromium Oxide the green stuff. I could probably only get 3 or 4kg if there is any left at my old workplace, if you get stuck let me know
