PRESS RELEASE

AUTHORIZATION PERIOD HEXAVALENT CHROME ENDING IN 2024
In February 2019, the REACH Committee of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) decided to give companies using chromium trioxide (CrO3) in electroplating on plastic parts a maximum of 7 years to reassess the availability of safer alternatives or substitute the substance earlier when possible. Chromium trioxide is a carcinogenic substance and has long been a substance of very high concern (SVHC) in Europe. It is still widely used in chrome electroplating.

PLASMA COATING

WE ARE PVD EXPERTS

PVD coating is the abbreviation of Physical Vapour Deposition. It is a plasma technology depositing a coating in a vacuum environment. PVD coating can add features to all kinds of products. It can make a surface smooth, shiny, wear resistant or reduce friction.

Magnetron Sputtering

SPUTTERING WITH POWER

One form of PVD coating technology is magnetron sputtering. The vacuum chamber of the PVD coating machine is filled with an inert gas, such as argon. By applying a high voltage, a glow discharge is created, resulting in acceleration of ions to the target surface from the target.

HAUZER BATCH EQUIPMENT

WE ARE FLEXIBLE

HAUZER Flexicoat^® batch machines are built in mature modules that combine a high degree of flexibility with a consistent manufacturing quality. Multiple plasma technologies can be combined in one machine.
