Towards more Resilient, Sustainable, Competitive and Intelligent Electrochemical Surface Treatments

Description

Hexavalent chromium is a highly useful chemical in various industries, but it is also very dangerous for health and the environment. It is commonly used for metal coating, making paints, and treating leather, but it can cause cancer and contaminate water and soil. For this reason, the European Union banned it in 2017, although it allowed its continued use in small quantities until 2024. This has created a problem for companies that use it, as they need to find safe alternatives quickly.
