It only contains REACH compliant chemicals. TripleHard has been industrially proven already for 4 years in a variety of applications. Can be applied in an existing chrome plating line.
Evaluated Alternative Isocyanates Novomer produces and develops Biocyanate™ Isocyanates through a novel route that does not require the use of the environmentally dangerous chemical phosgene. These plant-based renewable isocyanates are organic compounds that contain at least one isocyanate group, a functional group with the formula R-N=C=O.
Evaluated Alternative Glacial Acrylic Acid Bio replacement for propylene-based glacial acrylic acid for polymers, acrylates, resins, plastics, fibers, paints, coatings, adhesives, elastomers and others.
Request Chromium trioxide in metal plating, passivation and coating The launched eight public consultations on applications for authorisation for chromium trioxide (EC: 215-607-8, CAS 1333-82-0) for the uses of functional chrome plating with decorative character for sanitary applications (including etching and electroplating) as well as for the uses of passivation and electrolytic coating of steel. The formal public consultation period for this substance is over. However, if you have a potential alternative, you can find the list of applicants/authorisation holders from our , or you can browse for . We also recommend checking our where you can find potential candidates for alternatives.
Request Chromium VI compounds used in surface treatment and as anti-corrosion and reaction stabilising agent has launched a public consultation on Chromium VI compounds used in surface treatment and as anti-corrosion and reaction stabilising agent.
Evaluated Alternative SUPERCHROME PVD COATING – a green alternative to hexavalent chrome plating SUPERCHROME PVD COATING provides a chrome finish with a decorative character for plastic substrates. Hexavalent chromium is not used in this process. SUPERCHROME PVD COATING is a two-layer coating consisting of a UV cured base coat and a chromium PVD layer on top. Unlike conventional PVD coatings, SUPERCHROME PVD COATING requires no protective top-coat to interfere with the chrome finish. VTI provides the SUPERCHROME PVD COATING process and system technology.
Evaluated Alternative EonCoat CR – Corrosion Protection of Carbon Steel EonCoat CR, permanently protects Carbon Steel from corrosion. A 2-component ceramic coating forms an amorf alloy of phosphate-glass on carbon steel, that's impermeable for oxygen and humidity. Therefore the steel can't corrode. The ceramic shell protects against impact and abrasion.
Evaluated Alternative Highly Effective Chrome-free Corrosion Inhibitor for Coatings Using our patented and award-winning technology, Hexigone produces safer and smarter, corrosion inhibiting pigment which answers the industry’s search for a functional, highly effective and versatile additive to replace and exceed the performance of hexavalent chromate. Given REACH legislation banning the use of hexavalent chromate within the UK, Hexigone aims to replace toxic chemicals used in the anti-corrosion market with our disruptive micro/nano reservoir technologies, creating ‘smart’ coatings. Our additives will enable coatings to protect for longer in an intelligent manner, increasing the lifetime cycle of the end product, reducing the drain on primary resources.
Evaluated Alternative Prevent mold and mildew with natural ingredient from the ocean Tidal-Tex™ uses the power of the ocean to naturally prevent mold and mildew from growing! How? Chitosan.
