Chrome-6 Neutralizer: The Safe Solution for Chromium 6 - Cr(VI) Contamination

Chrome-6 Neutralizer: Protecting Your Health and the Environment

We prioritize environmental sustainability and user safety with our innovative products. Chrome-6 Neutralizer is a highly effective and eco-friendly solution for neutralizing hazardous Chromium 6 CrVI in various industrial settings, including the metal and textile industries and Combined Heat & Power (CHP) installations.

How Chrome-6 Neutralizer Works

Chrome-6 Neutralizer is a biodegradable liquid that converts toxic Chromium 6 into harmless Chromium 3. This acid-based solution reduces Chromium 6 dust levels and wets the dust, preventing it from being inhaled by workers and posing serious health risks.

 Key Features:

• Transforms Chromium 6 into Chromium 3: Converts carcinogenic Chromium 6 into a non-hazardous substance.
• Reduces Chrome VI Dust Emissions: The liquid form prevents additional dust release.
• Biodegradable: Environmentally friendly and safe for disposal.
• Minimizes Chrome 6 Exposure Risks: Significantly lowers the risk of exposure for workers.
• Easy Application: Ready-to-use spray bottle for quick and efficient application.
• No Special Labelling Required: Simplifies transportation and storage.

 Applications of Chrome-6 Neutralizer

Chrome-6 Neutralizer is ideal for use in industrial environments where Chromium 6 dust is prevalent, particularly during maintenance and overhaul of CHP units. It's especially useful in:

• Diesel Engines & Generators
• Gas Turbines
• Marine Engines

 Benefits of Using Chrome-6 Neutralizer

Health and Safety Compliance: Helps employers meet health and safety regulations by neutralizing carcinogens at the source.

Ease of Use: Chrome-6 Neutralizer is easy to apply with a spray bottle and is suitable for non-acid-sensitive substrates (resistance test recommended before application).

Availability: Comes in 10L, 20L, and 60L containers to suit various industrial needs.

Understanding the Dangers of Chromium 6

Chromium 6  Cr(VI) is a toxic form of chromium that poses significant health risks, including:

• Carcinogenicity: Prolonged inhalation exposure can increase lung cancer risk.
• Respiratory Issues: Causes coughing, wheezing, and chronic respiratory damage.
• Skin Irritation: Direct contact can lead to irritation, dermatitis, and allergic reactions.
• Reproductive Effects: Potentially harmful to reproductive health and fetal development.
• Organ Damage: Chronic exposure can damage kidneys and liver.
• Environmental Contamination: Can pollute soil, water, and air, affecting ecosystems and entering the food chain.

Due to these risks, Chromium 6 is strictly regulated by environmental agencies. Efforts to mitigate its hazards include proper handling, disposal procedures, and developing safer manufacturing alternatives.
