You run the risk of losing if you try to win too much
calcium-containing insulating materials tend under certain, but common conditions, in particular in CHP/KWK engines or gas and steam turbines, for the formation of carcinogenic, mutagenic and chronically harmful to the environment Chromium (VI) compound Calcium chromate (CaCrO4).
work, involving people and the environment with chromium (VI) and exposed to its connections, requires a complex risk assessment, the legislator prescribes a so-called risk management, which leads to special protective measures.
Kavarmat® - The Cleansulation company supports Engine manufacturers and plant operators when preparing the risk assessment and presents with its portfolio of the brand HexChecks TM the appropriate tools, such as Cr6 rapid tests for the quick localization of chromates, but also offers so-called "Cr6 neutralizers", which in particular decontamination of chromated stainless steel hot parts (Screws, nuts, flange connections, stainless steel pipes, etc.) can be used; here is but to be careful that no chromates can get into the groundwater.
Selective neutralization (decontamination) should only be carried out by trained specialists in non-public rooms and without a drain,
Cr6 neutralizers are NOT suitable for treating fibrous dust or cleaning the ambient air.
According to Directive 2019/130/EU, the binding workplace limit value as an 8-hour average of 0.005 mg/m³ must not be exceeded.
(Scope: chromium (VI) compounds, carcinogenic, as chromium).
According to legal regulations, the release of chromates in groundwater, even in small amounts, must be reported to the authorities.
