High operating temperatures in CHP, marine, automotive and aerospace systems create optimal conditions for the formation of Cr(VI) when stainless steel alloys and calcium/zinc metals are present.
Cr(VI) is toxic, mobile and a known carcinogen. If your system contains these risk factors, proactive testing and removal is essential.
We offer:
● Chrome-6 Neutralisation Products
● Cr(VI) Testing & Analysis Services
● Support to identify and mitigate risk
Managing the Challenge.
Hexavalent chromium compounds are highly toxic substances that can form as an unintended by-product in industrial processes, particularly in industries such as energy generation, automotive, marine propulsion, aerospace etc where high temperatures and metallic surfaces are common.
The risks associated with Chrome 6, even at low concentrations, are significant. Workers can be exposed through inhaling fine dust, direct skin contact, or secondary means. Chrome 6 also poses serious environmental risks due to its high solubility and mobility, allowing it to spread through contaminated water into soil and groundwater.
Given these risks, reliable detection and effective management of Chrome 6 is crucial for supporting workplace safety and meeting regulatory compliance.
We provide several solutions for the safe management of Chrome 6. We take a proactive approach, supporting our customers with the most appropriate solutions to assist in meeting regulatory compliance.
