Zinc chromate (ZnCrO4) is an inorganic ceramic compound combining zinc and chromate ions, typically encountered as a yellow powder or pigment phase. It has been historically used as a corrosion-inhibiting pigment in primers and protective coatings, though its use has been restricted in many regions due to hexavalent chromium toxicity concerns; modern applications focus on specialized coatings in aerospace and marine environments where legacy formulations remain qualified, as well as in research contexts exploring chromate-based compounds for niche protective functions.
