Some Definitions:
• Chromium (0)White metal with high corrosion and tarnish
resistance.
• Chrome plate  process using the Hexavalent chromium form
Cr(VI) in electrolytic solution to obtain the chrome metal form (0).
(decorative,automotive,mecanical use,)
• Chromatation  Chemical conversion ,using the hexavalent
form,use to increase the corrosion resistance after Zinc
electroplating for example,
(Automotiv in the past,military use …)
Only chrome metal = without any Cr(VI)
Cr(VI) on the top
Toxicological Profile for Hexavalent
Chromium
• Formula: Chromic trioxyde: Cr03,
• Physical state,appearance: Odourless,dark red crystals,flakes
or granular powder
:
• Chemicals Properties:
the substance decompose above 250 °C to chromic oxide and oxygen,which increases fire azard,The
substance is a strong oxidant and reacts violently with combustible and reducing materials causing fire and
explosion hazard.
• Hazard Pictograms:
• Risks: the substance is corrosive to the eyes,skin and the respiratory tracts.Corrosive on ingestion,This
substance is carcinogenic to human,may cause heritable genetic damage to human germ cells,Toxic for
human reproduction or development.
O - Comburant T+ - Très toxique
Trivalent Chrome
Hexavalent Chrome alternative
Toxicological Profile for Chrome
sulfate (trivalent chrome)
• Formula: Cr2(SO4)3,6H2O
• Hazard and Pictogram: ?
• Risks: ?
Comparaison
hexavalent/trivalent chrome
- Work Station -
Hexavalent Trivalent
Carcinogenic Not carcinogenic
Lead Compound Formation Without any lead compound formation
Standard Rectifier for electric power High tension Rectifier
High tolerance for Metallics Impurities Not at all tolerance for M.I
3 steps for waste treatment 1 step
Trivalent Chrome
Métal
Maximal concentrations
in the bath
Nickel < 100 ppm
Cupper < 10 ppm
Iron < 60 ppm
Zinc < 5 ppm
Lead < 10 ppm
The electrolytic bath need more cleaning treatment.
Tolerance for Metallics Impurities:
Comparative Degree of
white colour by Lab
measurement.

Conclusions
• Sustainable developement,important reduction of the
impact on the environment.
• Cost of plating a few higher.
• Important step in the reduction of CMR substances.
• The etching step in the attack of ABS is still using the
Cr(VI) form ,but we can be hopeful of a good outcome in
that regard.
