THE HIDDEN HAZARD
Chrome-6 poses significant safety, environmental and compliance risks in high-heat industrial environments and paint-coating systems.
Chrome-6 poses significant safety, environmental and compliance risks in high-heat industrial environments and paint-coating systems.
In high-heat industrial environments, the presence of Chromium-6 is a constant safety, environmental and compliance challenge. Often generated under insulation or on stainless steel surfaces exposed to prolonged heat, Chrome-6 accumulates as a fine yellow dust.
This hazardous compound poses serious carcinogenic risks and has strict handling regulations.
When disturbed, Chrome-6 dust can easily become airborne, exposing workers to serious health hazards. Standard cleaning practices often fall short in effectively neutralising this substance, leaving Health & Safety Managers with a recurring and dangerous problem.
Managing Chrome-6 in such settings is critical to maintaining regulatory compliance and ensuring worker safety.
Airborne Chrome-6 dust endangers workers, challenging standard cleaning and compliance efforts.
Bron Group (Manufacturing)
Knowing whether Chrome-6 is present in your system is the crucial first step in managing risk. We offer field and lab-based Cr(VI) testing with our industry-leading technical partner SEEF B.V.
Designed specifically for high-temperature environments such as CHP, automotive, aerospace, marine systems our advanced analytical method addresses the shortcomings of conventional techniques. Unlike traditional approaches, which often under-report and fail to capture the true concentration of Cr(VI) due to sample degradation and chemical interference, our solution delivers precise, reliable and comprehensive results.
Just 1/30th of a grain of Chrome-6 dust can reach the UKʼs workplace exposure limit in 1 cubic metre of air.
With rapid turnaround and trusted results, our testing service helps:
● Confirm exact contamination levels
● Support risk assessments and remediation planning
● Demonstrate compliance with safety regulations
Ineffective Chrome-6 management risks health environmental, compliance, liability and regulatory penalties.
The implications are far-reaching. Beyond immediate health risks, ineffective management of Chrome-6 can lead to non-compliance, liability concerns, and significant regulatory fines.
Health & Safety Managers are tasked with finding solutions that not only neutralize Chrome-6 but also reduce the risk of exposure during the cleaning process.
Chrome-6 Neutralizer offers a breakthrough solution. Developed in partnership with two leading manufacturers of combined heat and power installations and turbines, this goes beyond standard cleaning: it effectively converts Chrome-6 into Chrome-3, a safe, non-toxic form.
Chrome-6 Neutralizer also wets the dust upon application, immediately reducing airborne contamination and ensuring a safer cleaning process in sensitive environments.
It's safe, biodegradable, and it really works.
Chrome-6 Neutralizer stands out from every other cleaning solution on the market.
Chrome-6 Neutralizer ensures safer workplaces and compliance with proactive management.
Take a proactive step in protecting your workforce and maintaining compliance. Discover how Chrome-6 Neutralizer can transform your facilityʼs approach to Chrome-6 management, delivering a cleaner, safer solution for your specific industry needs.
