KOLZER, an Italian company specializing in designing and manufacturing vacuum coating machines, presents its PVD technologies which replace CrVI-based finishes, the use of which has been prohibited in the functional chrome plating sector with a decorative purpose.
Under the REACH regulation of the European Union, the use of chromium trioxide (EC 215-607-8; CAS 1333-82-0) in the functional chrome plating sector with a decorative character has not been authorized. Its use is limited to some specific fields (aeronautics and tinned steel passivation) and only until 2024.
With the aim of providing companies with an alternative solution to CrVI, while maintaining the quality level unchanged, KOLZER presents its PVD technologies of the DGK® and MK® lines, capable of ensuring the same quality combined with economic savings, and of meeting market needs in terms of sustainability.
Furthermore, thanks to the experience gained during the participation in the Alliance of PVD Providers (APP), by presenting a manifesto at ECHA in 2018, KOLZER is available to accompany companies interested in the transition to PVD technology.
