Environmental Health And Safety (EHS) Package For Chromium

An important step to satisfy regulations for working with chromium compounds and to improve safety

As a result of its ongoing efforts to improve the environmental, health and safety situation while working with chromium, K.Walter has developed an upgrade package for all existing chromium tanks. This environmental health and safety package is an important step in fulfilling the current regulations for using chromium and ensures further improvements for workers’ safety by reducing exposure to chromium trioxide.

The package can be ordered separately to upgrade chromium tanks that have already been installed or as a complete solution in combination with new tanks.

The package consists of

• Heliochrome wetting agent FF An additive that reduces aerosols and therefore exposure for users and the environment.

• Heliochrome REOX 3 An additive that regulates the trivalent chrome content so that the use of lead anodes can be avoided. This approach reduces the need for maintenance and therefore considerably reduces exposure for users.

• Heliochrome Rapid EC The 4-in-1 solution that combines all components and additives (wetting agentcatalystREOX 3liquid chromium), thus eliminating the need to handle substances separately and use crystalline chromium and therefore reducing exposure for users and the environment.

• Quick Connect Coupling device that reduces exposure for users and the environment while changing barrels or IBC tanks containing chromium.

• Sample kit Safe removal of electrolyte samples, thereby reducing exposure for users when taking samples.

• Exhaust control Control unit that checks the exhaust system is working correctly and therefore monitors exposure levels in the workplace.
