How to safely neutralise and remove Chrome 6

In collaboration with two leading manufacturers of combined heat and power installations and turbines, Eco-Point has developed Chrome-6 Neutralizer. A hazard-free biodegradable product that removes and neutralizes carcinogenic Chrome-6 and converts it into harmless Chrome-3. With this innovation, Eco-Point is taking a step towards a safer world.

 

Eco-friendly and safe Chromium 6 remover - Eco Point Chrome 6 Neutralizer

Chrome-6 Neutralizer is an acid-based, biodegradable neutralization liquid that converts harmful chromium-6 to chromium-3. This product can be used to combat source-specific chromium-6. Because the acidic product reacts and the dust is simultaneously wetted, the concentration of chromium-6 dust will be drastically reduced.

Safely remove Chrome 6

Special benefits

  • Chromium-6 is converted to chromium-3 and therefore from a carcinogenic to a 'non-carcinogenic' substance
  • The liquid character prevents further dust dispersion
  • Biodegradable and free from all hazard symbols, therefore no restrictions with use, storage and transportation
  • Significantly reduces the exposure risk
  • Easy to apply: ready-to-use: can be applied directly from the spray bottle
  • Suitable for non-acid-sensitive surfaces; otherwise first test for resistance

How to safely remove Chromium 6 using Chrome VI Neutraliser

At Eco-Point, we prioritize creating sustainable cleaning and maintenance products that are environmentally friendly and safe for users. This hazard-free, biodegradable product neutralizes carcinogenic Chromium 6 and converts it into non-carcinogenic Chromium 3, marking a significant step towards a safer world. 

Sustainable solution

Chrome-6 Neutralizer is an acid-based, biodegradable neutralization liquid for converting toxic chromium-6 to non-toxic chromium-3. This product can be used to combat source-specific chromium-6.

In combustion engines, the build-up of chromium-6 dust is often present under the insulation parts where stainless steel (inox) parts are also used. The prolonged heat produces chromium-6 from the stainless steel, often recognizable by dust with a yellow color. Spraying with Chrome-6 Neutralizer converts chromium-6 to chromium-3 and also prevents dust absorption into the air.

Areas of application

Chrome-6 Neutralizer can be used in industry to combat chromium-6 (dust), where exposure can occur during maintenance and overhaul of:

CHPs (combined heat and power) are used by horticulturists for heat and CO2 in greenhouses, but also to supply electricity. Prolonged heating of the stainless steel in the insulation parts increases the risk of chromium-6 dust being formed. This also applies to:

  • Marine & diesel engines
  • Gas turbines

Solution Areas

  • Chromium-6 is classified as a carcinogen and therefore carcinogenic.
  • The limit value of chromium-6 is very low and therefore has a high exposure risk.
  • Chromium-6 dust is formed when stainless steel in the presence of a catalyst and oxygen is heated over extended periods, affecting combustion engines, gas turbines, CHPs, etc.
  • Maintenance and overhaul of such systems therefore requires additional protective measures.
  • Chromium-6 also occurs in paint and preservation systems and is released during processing. This product is not suitable for use on chrome paint.
  • Dust spreads easily through poorly ventilated areas, increasing the risk of exposure.

FAQ's

Chrome-6 Neutralizer works most effectively on machine parts at ambient room temperature

Chrome-6 Neutralizer becomes fully effective after 15 minutes

The product has a shelf-life of at least one year, as indicated on the label.

Yes, Chrome-6 Neutralizer is used extensively by many companies. We independently tested the results

To date, there have been no instances of Chrome-3 reverting to Chrome-6 at room temperature after treatment.

No, it is not corrosive. The product has a mild acidic character but typically does not affect stainless steel.

Chrome-6 Neutralizer can affect sensitive surfaces like glossy aluminium. However, it is generally safe for steel, plastics, and composites.

Note: Do not use the product on calciferous materials such as marble and stone.

Yes, protective gloves and eye protection are recommended. Respiratory protection (e.g., class P3) and protective clothing are also advised.
