Cheap high quality Chromium Oxide in Europe!
Hello Folks,
I found a very cheap and high quality (of German origin) Cr2O3 powder. It is 3 Euros for 100 gr.They say the particle size of 0.3 microns
Here is the link
Chrome Oxide Green - Mineral Pigments - Kremer Pigmente GmbH & Co. KG
Cheers,
Kemal

Awesome! I've been looking for a european source.
Just one question - have you tried it yourself on your razors?

This stuff is marketed as a pigment. How about grit size and impurities? You need to know those before pasting it onto your strop!

Thanked: 9This is a very interesting source for CrOx.
Here is or link to the product data sheet:
http://kremer-pigmente.de/shopint/Pu...les/44200e.pdf
I also find this Fe2O3 pigment interesting:
Iron Oxide Red 130 B - Iron Oxide Pigments - Kremer Pigmente GmbH & Co. KG
Iron oxides cut faster than CrOx. The particle size of 0.22 um would be ok.

Predominant particle size is 0.3 mcm, but what's the range and maximum? Say 1% of particles is 1.0 mcm I am not sure this chromium oxide would be useful.

Thanked: 0Hi Fellows,
I am from Germany and this is exactly the pigment which is used in the Acryl and Oil Paint we Germans uses for our strops. So it will works perfectly.
Bye

I have not tried this myself. But, the datasheet says 99% purity, I think as Germans say besser geht est nicht

I ordered some of the Kremer Chromium Oxide mentioned above. Have not used it yet, and can't comment on performance. Ordering information from a US outlet...

100 grams powder cost $7.80 plus $9.50 shipping... $17.30.

What I use is similar: chromium oxide green pigment P17 by Schmincke
Schmincke are known for making artist's pigments of particularly uniform and fine particle size. More experienced members whom I send some of it confirmed the quality. On one of the German SR fora it was discussed favourably too, I think, as was indeed the Kremer pigment.
Whichever the supplier, make sure you buy stumpf/matt/dull chromium oxide (P17/PG17); the feurig/sharp/emerald/viridian (P18/PG18) variety is useless for our goals (and more expensive too).
