Authorisation of CrVI: Seize the opportunity to make substitution a reality

Brussels, 9 October 2018 – The Alliance of PVD Providers (APP) of which Kolzer is a member, asks the European institutions to make substitution of hazardous chemicals under REACH a reality by replacing hexavalent chromium (CrVI) by the sustainable alternative Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) technology.

The processes of chrome plating adopted by Kolzer machines, in addition to be at zero emission, use metallic chrome, therefore "zerovalent". This is organic chrome absolutely non-polluting. Thus it is still possible to chrome for aesthetic/functional purposes, since the chrome zerovalent used by Kolzer plant, responds in full the new requirements of RoHS and ELV directives.

Positively tested a DGK63”, the biggest 3D sputtering plant in Europe. 2500 mm of length with 4 magnetrons and sputtering targets long 1800mm for the multilayer depositing on solar panels. We helped thousands of companies renew their ecological ethos, and at the same time generate immediate profits giving their products a new hi-tech appearance. Without the contribution of our sputtering process, it wouldn’t be possible to create the new generation of photovoltaic cells.

Using the technique of PVD sputtering coating, a low cost process, clean and dry which takes place at room temperature, it can be metal covered any material, shape, size and geometry of an article.
