Tetrahydroxozinc chromate , also known as pentazine chromate octahydroxide or alkali-free zinc yellow , with the empirical formula Zn 5 (OH) 8 CrO 4 is a yellow pigment . Sometimes it is just referred to as zinc yellow , which is actually a potassium- containing chromate .

safety

Tetrahydroxozinc chromate is considered carcinogenic and is therefore no longer used in Europe.
