Chromium-6 is used in a wide range of products such as leather, cement, stainless steel, paints and coatings for professional use. Chromium-6 is a product that provides good adhesion, protects against corrosion and wood rot and is also heat-resistant. This makes it ideal for application on aircraft, jet fighters, railcars, bridges, defence equipment, etc. 

Using chromium-6 in hard paints is not a problem, as long as you don't touch it. Because operations such as grinding, drilling, sanding, blasting and welding release chromium particles. The consequences of ingestion, inhalation and absorption through the skin are considerable: skin ulcers, acute poisoning, cancer, chronic lung diseases and perforation of the nasal septum. These very health complaints are the reason chromium-6 has been in the news frequently. 

For the removal of chromium-6, employees must be protected against the dangers posed by chromium-6 in accordance with occupational health and safety legislation. Dehaco has put together a suitable range for this.
