CrVI (6) presence found in 55% of the studied coating samples by a new testmethod
A new groundbreaking self-test method to detect hexavalent chromium in coating samples. The new solution solves the problem of false-negative and false-positive results. Primer coatings containing the carcinogenic chemical compound chromate (hexavalent chromium, CrVI) have been widely used since WWII. These coatings can be found on many different substrates across many work areas or job […]
