March 2015 – Based on a comprehensive evaluation and research of technologies, Enthone has concluded that a Cr(VI) free replacement for hard chrome will not be available for the majority of industry applications for the foreseeable future. Due to this conclusion and to ensure an uninterrupted supply of high performance hard chrome processes, Enthone is committed to keeping today’s technologies available, barring any unanticipated circumstances.
Enthone will continue to actively participate in the authorization process under REACH. This is evidenced by our continuing leadership role in the Chromium Trioxide REACH Authorization Consortium (CTAC); providing analysis of alternatives (AOA) and socio economic analysis (SEA) data; and offering advanced process technology with substantially reduced Cr(VI) exposure scenarios. On March 6th, Enthone joined the newly formed CTAC sub consortium for joint application authorization.
Please be assured, our well respected ANKOR® hard chrome processes will remain available as ready and easy-to-use formulated products beyond the 2017 sunset date for all authorized uses.
Enthone is and remains committed to working together with you as your trusted supplier.
Sincerely,
Rick Reagan
President
Enthone
